Genomics' work on obesity in The Telegraph
19 Nov 2024
The Telegraph covered our latest study on obesity, which showed that individuals with a genetic risk score for high BMI, calculated using Genomics’ proprietary polygenic risk scores (PRS), were 10 times more likely to develop obesity later in life - even at the same activity levels and calorie intake.
ASHG 2024: New study from Genomics indicates individuals who have a genetic predisposition for high BMI may require tailored approaches to tackle obesity
12 Nov 2024
Our research shows that those at high genetic risk of obesity will need personalised support to help them stay at, or return to, a healthy weight.

Genes in 8% of population found to raise heart disease risk
19 Sep 2024
The Times covers a new study that has claimed that thousands of heart attacks and strokes could be prevented by incorporating people’s genetic risk into their standard middle-aged health check. Researchers have identified a suite of genetic changes, affecting 1 in 12 Britons, that significantly raise the chance of suffering heart disease.
Why health systems are buying into genomics
17 Sep 2024
Mount Sinai Health System is launching a center that will conduct genetic-based research on undiagnosed medical conditions. The system's Center for Undiagnosed Diseases will open early next year, the latest evidence of the money providers are pouring into genomics. Mount Sinai said Tuesday the center will be home to New York City's first undiagnosed disease network, which connects clinicians across the U.S. conducting this kind of research.
Genetic Risk Testing - Policyholder Misconceptions and Benefits to Insurers
15 Aug 2024
As the conversation around genetic risk testing continues to evolve, it's crucial to address the misconceptions that surround it. This latest article by Genomics' Co-Founder and CEO, Sir Peter Donnelly, discusses the common misunderstandings around genetic risk testing and the untapped benefits it holds for the insurance industry.
Genomics Announces New Extension and Expansion of Drug Discovery Collaboration with Vertex
17 Jul 2024
The three-year extension expands the range of therapeutic areas and genomic data insights and also explores the use of genomic risk to better define patient subgroups
Adding genetics to health checks improves identification of people at risk for CVD
12 Jun 2024
We are proud to unveil new findings about our Integrated Risk Tool for cardiovascular disease, which has just achieved another significant validation. A recent study led by the University of Leicester, published in the esteemed European Heart Journal, underscores the transformative potential of our tool in early prevention.
