The largest ever study of the plasma proteome

Scientists at deCODE genetics have demonstrated how measuring the levels of a large number of proteins in plasma at a population scale when combined with data on sequence diversity and RNA expression dramatically increases insights into human diseases and other phenotypes. The scientists have used levels of five thousand proteins in plasma targeted on a […]

New biomarker for osteoarthritis found

Scientists at Icelandic deCODE genetics have found a new biomarker for osteoarthritis, that outperforms previously reported biomarkers and is an independent predictor of disease. In a study published in the medical journal, Arthritis & Rheumatology, the scientists introduced the new biomarker. Using SOMAscan platform in a non-hypothesis driven scan of 4,792 plasma proteins in 39,155 […]

Identical twins are not always genetically identical

By sequencing the germline genomes of twins and comparing them to those of close relatives, scientists at deCODE genetics have found mutations that are present in just one of the monozygotic twins and traced them back to the first days after conception. In the article, Differences between germline genomes of monozygotic twins, published in Nature Genetics, scientists at […]
