Children with a common genetic variant may have more inflammation in response to an asthma drug
Children with a variant in the SERPINE1 gene—which is found in 60% of the population—may be less responsive to mepolizumab, a drug used to treat asthma flares, according to a study published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.

Atlas of immune cells explains how genetic variants cause disease
Scientists have identified thousands of genetic differences that change a person’s risk of disease, but working out how they actually affect biology—an important step toward creating new treatments—has been much more challenging. One reason is that man…

Children with preventable heart disease being missed through gaps in care
A new report has revealed critical gaps in the care of Australian children with a preventable pediatric disorder that can lead to premature cardiovascular disease (CVD). Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a common genetic disorder that affects how t…

Personalized support increases genetic testing for hereditary cancers among immediate family members
First-degree relatives—parents, siblings and children—of cancer patients who received personalized support and navigation services throughout the genetic testing process were significantly more likely to receive genetic testing themselves. Nearly half …

Low-cost platform maps gene activity and metabolites in the same tissue sample
Spatial transcriptomics (ST) shows which genes are being expressed and where within a tissue. Spatial metabolomics (SM), on the other hand, maps the location of metabolites—small molecules produced or used by cells—within tissue.
