Most of the genetic risk for developing a substance use disorder comes from genes that broadly affect how our brains process ...

Researchers analyze 2.2 million genomes to show that addiction risk is primarily driven by broad genes affecting brain wiring and impulse control, not drug-specific traits.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity are metabolic conditions with many causes, including overlapping and distinct genetic ...

For individuals with APOE genotypes ε3/ε4 and ε4/ε4 (APOE34/44), higher meat consumption is associated with better cognitive trajectories and lower dementia risk, according to a study published online ...

Older people with a genetic risk of Alzheimer's disease did not experience the expected increase in cognitive decline and dementia risk if they consumed relatively large amounts of meat.

Genomics can help to identify people who are more likely to develop glaucoma potentially long before any symptoms of the disease appear. Instead ...

A recent study published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry provides evidence that an individual’s genetic risk for major depression tends to be higher in those who develop more severe forms of the ...

Some people with the gene did not have expected outcomes if they were heavy meat-eaters ...

A major Harvard study of over 130,000 participants found that moderate consumption of caffeinated coffee or tea was associated with reduced dementia risk over four decades ...

Many MS genetic risk factors are shared across ancestral backgrounds, but European-focused studies may miss others, per a study.

Wildlife populations that become small and isolated, often due to habitat loss, inevitably experience inbreeding which can ...
