Weight-loss responses to GLP-1 obesity drugs, and risks of side effects, may be linked to genetic variants, according to a ...

Distinct GLP1R and GIPR variants correlated with nausea/vomiting risk, with a GIPR signal appearing tirzepatide-specific and showing markedly increased vomiting odds. New studies from 23andMe suggest ...

A study from Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health reports a major advance in understanding how interactions ...

A large 23andMe-based GWAS found that common variants in GLP1R and GIPR help explain why some people lose more weight or ...

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition in which the body attacks its own insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Some individuals with type 1 diabetes experience cognitive differences, sometimes ...

Me Research Institute, a nonprofit medical research organization, announced the publication of a study that identifies ...

Researchers still do not have a comprehensive picture of the factors that influence gene expression in human cancers. Understanding gene expression in cancer is important because it can reveal how the ...

The human genome is organised in 46 chromosomes, where all but the x and y chromosomes in men are present in two copies. This means that a person with a faulty gene on one chromosome most often has a ...

The study of genetic variation and growth traits in tree species is crucial for understanding the mechanisms that underpin forest productivity, resilience and adaptation. Recent advances in molecular ...

Structural variants (SVs) are alterations in the DNA sequence that involve large-scale changes, typically longer than 50 base pairs. Advances in long-read sequencing have significantly increased ...
