Direct-to-Consumer Genetic Testing and Personal Genomics Services: A Review of Recent Empirical StudiesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 1 - Trang 182-200 - 2013
J. Scott Roberts, Jenny Ostergren
Direct-to-consumer genetic testing (DTC-GT) has sparked much controversy and
undergone dramatic changes in its brief history. Debates over appropriate health
policies regarding DTC-GT would benefit from empirical research on its benefits,
harms, and limitations. We review the recent literature (2011-present) and
summarize findings across (1) content analyses of DTC-GT websites, (2) studies

Admixture, Genetics and Complex Diseases in Latin Americans and US HispanicsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 6 - Trang 208-223 - 2018
Giordano Soares-Souza, Victor Borda, Fernanda Kehdy, Eduardo Tarazona-Santos
We review population and epidemiological genetics studies in Latin Americans and
US Hispanics/Latinos, who are product of admixture between Europeans, Africans,
and Native Americans. Admixture studies identified a Southeastern-Africa/Bantu
ancestry component more prevalent in Brazil. Contrasting dynamics of Native
American introgression into admixed populations were inferred: > 400 years ago

Opportunities for Artificial Intelligence in Advancing Precision MedicineSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 208-213 - 2019
Fabian V. Filipp
We critically evaluate the future potential of machine learning (ML), deep
learning (DL), and artificial intelligence (AI) in precision medicine. The goal
of this work is to show progress in ML in digital health, to exemplify future
needs and trends, and to identify any essential prerequisites of AI and ML for
precision health. High-throughput technologies are delivering growing volumes of
biomedi... hiện toàn bộ
Recent Advances in the Genetics of Frontotemporal DementiaSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 41-52 - 2019
Daniel W. Sirkis, Ethan G. Geier, Luke W. Bonham, Celeste M. Karch, Jennifer S. Yokoyama
In this review, we highlight recent advances in the human genetics of
frontotemporal dementia (FTD). In addition to providing a broad survey of genes
implicated in FTD in the last several years, we also discuss variation in genes
implicated in both hereditary leukodystrophies and risk for FTD (e.g., TREM2,
TMEM106B, CSF1R, AARS2, NOTCH3). Over the past 5 years, genetic variation in
approximately 5... hiện toàn bộ
Protective Variants in Alzheimer’s DiseaseSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 1-12 - 2019
Shea J. Andrews, Brian Fulton-Howard, Alison Goate
Over the last decade, over 40 loci have been associated with risk of Alzheimer’s
disease (AD). However, most studies have either focused on identifying risk loci
or performing unbiased screens without a focus on protective variation in AD.
Here, we provide a review of known protective variants in AD and their putative
mechanisms of action. Additionally, we recommend strategies for finding new

Management and Screening in Neurofibromatosis Types 1 and 2Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 92-101 - 2019
Adam C. Shaw
Neurofibromatosis types 1 and 2 (NF1 & NF2) are complex genetic diseases that
provide challenges in diagnosis, monitoring, clinical management and genetic
counselling. This review highlights these challenges and provides insight into
the general and specialist management considerations. Multidisciplinary care
with a focus on evidence based interventions and quality of life outcomes has
benefited p... hiện toàn bộ
State-of-the-Art Technologies to Interrogate Genetic/Genomic Components of Drug ResponseSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 1 - Trang 150-161 - 2013
Santasree Banerjee, Ming Qi
Over the last decade, the study of genomes has rapidly advanced to the point
that genomic research now serves as the basis for many medical decisions and
public health initiatives. Genetic variation is likely to contribute
substantially to the variation in drug response observed across human
populations. Genomic tools such as sequence variation and, more specifically,
personal genome sequencing in... hiện toàn bộ
