Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) are powerful tools. They gauge how likely you are to have a given trait based only on genetics, without taking environmental factors into account. With a simple genetic test you can find out to what degree your genes predispose you to diseases like cancer, diabetes, or depression. This information can help you try to prevent or treat these diseases with medication and lifestyle changes.

Queensland researchers have just received news over 20 years in the making – their genetically modified banana species called QCAV-4 has been approved by Food Standards Australia and New Zealand (FSANZ).
In October, in what could turn into a landmark case, a Missouri woman sued cosmetics company L’Oréal, claiming that her uterine cancer was caused by prolonged exposure to phthalates — chemicals that were ingredients in her hair straightening product.
