Health News - An analysis of the genomes of more than 1 million people of European ancestry, conducted by several of the world’s leading genomic centers, including Vanderbilt University Medical Center, has identified more than 2,000 independent genetic signals for blood pressure.
The findings, published in the journal Nature Genetics, include improved polygenic scores for predicting blood pressure and the discovery of 500 previously unreported genes that affect blood pressure.

<p>An international genetic study using multiancestry biobanks has identified novel genetic locations associated with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), the most common type of glaucoma and the leading cause of irreversible blindness globally. The findings, published Feb. 20 in <a href="https://www.cell.com/cell-reports-medicine/fulltext/S2666-3791(24)00053-3" target=" blank">Cell Reports Medicine</a>, detail ancestry- and sex-specific genetic loci associated with POAG and implicate vascular and cancer-related genes in POAG risk. </p>
