Polygenic indices related to the best-established social, psychological, and behavioural mortality risk phenotypes had the strongest associations with mortality.

Three out of four U.S. adults support the use of emerging technologies that estimate a future child's likelihood of developing health conditions influenced by multiple genes—such as diabetes, heart ...

Cost-utility studies provide critical information for the costs and benefits of using any new test, typically building on existing public health and screening programmes, within a defined population.

Genetic tests claiming to predict a future child's traits, such as intelligence or height, offer minimal benefits with significant risks. These tests, prevalent in the U.S., lack accurate predictive ...
