Epub 2022 Mar 21.Brief Summary: Currently, preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) is used to avoid specific rare Mendelian disorders before in-vitro fertilization (IVF). However, evidence is limited on the potential use of a polygenic risk score (PRS) that combines thousands of genetic variants as a predictor fo...

Nature. 2021 Sep;597(7876):381386. doi: 10.1038/s41586-021-03822-7.Brief Summary: This study investigated the mutational background of somatic cells and rates of mutation in 29 distinct anatomical structures and compared these with the male germline from the same donor. The rate of mutation was lowest in spermatogonia.Characterization of mutations that occur in...
