You can call any of these for free. You do not need a diagnosis, an appointment, or a crisis to call — questions and plain exhaustion are reasons enough.

  1. Integrating whole-genome sequencing with multi-omic data reveals the impact of structural variants on gene regulation in the human brain

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Nature neuroscience 2022-03-14 Genetics

    Structural variants (SVs), which are genomic rearrangements of more than 50 base pairs, are an important source of genetic diversity and have been linked to many diseases.

  2. Psychological and behavioural impact of returning personal results from whole-genome sequencing: the HealthSeq project

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 67 out of 100. European journal of human genetics : EJHG 2017-01-04 Genetics

    Providing ostensibly healthy individuals with personal results from whole-genome sequencing could lead to improved health and well-being via enhanced disease risk prediction, prevention, and diagnosis, but also poses practical and ethical challenges.

  3. Whole-genome sequencing suggests a chemokine gene cluster that modifies age at onset in familial Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. Molecular psychiatry 2015-09-01 Genetics

    We have sequenced the complete genomes of 72 individuals affected with early-onset familial Alzheimer's disease caused by an autosomal dominant, highly penetrant mutation in the presenilin-1 (PSEN1) gene, and performed genome-wide association testing to identify variants that modify age at onset (AAO) of Alzheimer's disease.
