Scientists have identified 12 breast cancer genes in women of African ancestry, potentially improving risk assessment and highlighting differences from women of European descent. A study also found a genetic variant in people of West African descent affecting cardiovascular disease risk.
Senthil Selvaraj @senthil_selv from @DukeU discusses his recent JAMA study on the V142I transthyretin variant among Black individuals and how it may affect cardiovascular health. Listen to the full podcast: https://t.co/rhgzvgk1jA https://t.co/DcuNWQNbBP
