Rapidly testing hundreds of thousands of DNA sequences, scientists identified specific genetic variations contributing to blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar.

A massive genomics effort has identified thousands of single nucleotide non-coding variants, which alter gene activity, that link to disease and health.

In this groundbreaking study, researchers uncover how ultra-rare genetic variants, especially in heart cells, play a critical role in raising the risk of coronary artery disease among individuals of ...
