Allelica - Introduction to Polygenic Risk Score
The PREDICT module equips genetics laboratories with a trusted software as a medical device for ancestry-informed PRS analysis and clinical-grade reporting.
Cardiovascular diseases — a general term for a suite of diseases that affect the heart or blood vessels — account for one in three deaths globally and are a major drain on public health spending. Our risk of cardiovascular disease increases as we age...
Clinical trials are an essential part of the pharmaceutical industry, but they face many challenges. One of the significant obstacles is the high rate of failure, with over 90% of drug candidates that...
A valid question that is often asked when discussing PRS implementation is “how will this information be used in clinical care in the absence of clinical guidelines for PRS”? One approach is to ensure PRS risk information is presented in a way that...
This year was kicked off by the publication of the NSGC Practice Resource for Clinical Counseling/Translation of Polygenic Scores, put together by Wand et al. — a stellar team of leaders in the PRS field.
We’ve previously written about how you can use Allelica’s DISCOVER software to build new polygenic risk scores (PRS) and to deploy them at scale with PREDICT. While a PRS provides…
This week, scientists from the Clinical Genome Resource (ClinGen) Complex Disease Working Group and the Polygenic Score (PGS) Catalog published a paper in Nature introducing…
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, with recent estimates putting the global death toll at around 18 million each year. It is also a major burden on populations and health systems, contributing to…
In our previous articles on Allelica’s PRS pipeline, we ran through how you can use our DISCOVER module to build your own PRS for a disease or trait of interest, as well as how our VALIDATE module can be used to test the predictive power of…
Essential testing of your PRS on an independent population. In our previous articles outlining Allelica’s PRS pipeline we described how users can impute genotype or…
A user friendly, cloud-based computing solution to build state-of-the-art, publication ready polygenic risk scores. The DISCOVER moduleallows users to build their own polygenic risk…
Fast and scalable genome imputation of Low-Coverage WGS and Microarray data in just minutes. Allelica’s PRS pipeline is built around a set of interconnected modules…
Within the last two decades, and upon completion of the world’s largest biological project in 2003, interest in the human genome and its effect on…
We previously wrote about the enormous impact that the UK Biobank (UKBB) is having to translational research. Although the scientific outputs from this project are now beginning…
In Allelica we’re very excited about the incredible advances that analyses of large DNA datasets are bringing to medicine. In addition to the increasingly…
Vast quantities of human DNA have been sequenced for biomedical research and clinicians, researchers and innovators are now beginning to focus on the next phase of the genomic revolution: translating these data into tools...
In the late 19th Century, a Moravian monk named Gregor Mendel passed his time by running experiments cross-breeding different types of pea plant. Amongst his…
A central goal of preventative medicine is to identify the people most at risk of disease early enough that something can be done…
