Dissociable genetic influences on eye movements during abstract versus naturalistic social scene viewing in infancy by Ana Maria Portugal, Mark J. Taylor, Kristiina Tammimies, Angelica Ronald, Terje Falck-Ytter

“…Heritability for face looking was moderate (h 2 = 0.19, 95% CI 0.03 to 0.34), and no familial influences were found for motion looking. Exploratory polygenic score analyses revealed no significant associations with fixation measures. …”

Genetic markers and predictive model for individual differences in countermovement jump enhancement after resistance training by Tao Mei, Xiaoxia Li, Yanchun Li, Xiaolin Yang, Liang Li, Zihong He

“…CMJ height change was used to assess changes in power and subjected to Genome-Wide Association Analysis (GWAS) against genotypes. Employing Polygenic Score (PGS) calculations and stepwise linear regression, a predictive model for training effects was constructed. …”

Genetic predisposition to altered blood cell homeostasis is associated with glioma risk and survival by Linda Kachuri, Geno A. Guerra, Taishi Nakase, George A. Wendt, Helen M. Hansen, Annette M. Molinaro, Paige Bracci, Lucie McCoy, Terri Rice, John K. Wiencke, Jeanette E. Eckel-Passow, Robert B. Jenkins, Margaret Wrensch, Stephen S. Francis

“…Considering survival, we observe higher mortality risk in patients with IDHmut 1p/19q with genetically predicted increased counts of lymphocytes (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.65, 95% CI: 1.24–2.20), neutrophils (HR = 1.49, 1.13–1.97), and eosinophils (HR = 1.59, 1.18–2.14). Polygenic scores for blood cell traits are also differentially associated with 17 tumor immune microenvironment features in a subtype-specific manner, including signatures related to interferon signaling, PD-1 expression, and T-cell/Cytotoxic responses. …”
