Many roads to a gene-environment interaction.
Kenneth E Westerman et al. Am J Hum Genet 2024 4 (4) 626-635 (Posted Apr 10, 2024 8AM)

From the abstract: "Despite the importance of gene-environment interactions (GxEs) in improving and operationalizing genetic discovery, interpretation of any GxEs that are discovered can be surprisingly difficult. There are many potential biological and statistical explanations for a statistically significant finding and, likewise, it is not always clear what can be claimed based on a null result. Here, we provide a detailed explanation of five “phenomena,” or data-generating mechanisms, that can lead to nonzero interaction estimates, as well as a discussion of specific instances in which they might be relevant. "

Challenges and opportunities for Lynch syndrome cascade testing in the United States.
Lauren E Passero et al. Fam Cancer 2024 3 (Posted Apr 02, 2024 10AM)

From the abstract: " Lynch syndrome is an underdiagnosed genetic condition that increases lifetime colorectal, endometrial, and other cancer risk. Cascade testing in relatives is recommended to increase diagnoses and enable access to cancer prevention services, yet uptake is limited due to documented multi-level barriers. Individual barriers such as feelings of fear, guilt, and anxiety and limited knowledge about Lynch syndrome as well as interpersonal barriers including complex family dynamics and language barriers limit family communication about Lynch syndrome and prevent uptake of genetic screening for relatives. Organizational and environmental barriers including a shortage of genetics professionals, high costs, and fears of discrimination also reduce cascade testing. These multi-level barriers may disproportionately impact underserved populations in the United States,"

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: translating genetic discoveries into therapies.
Fulya Akçimen et al. Nat Rev Genet 2023 4 (9) 642-658 (Posted Mar 27, 2024 1PM)

From the abstract: "Recent advances in sequencing technologies and collaborative efforts have led to substantial progress in identifying the genetic causes of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This momentum has, in turn, fostered the development of putative molecular therapies. In this Review, we outline the current genetic knowledge, emphasizing recent discoveries and emerging concepts such as the implication of distinct types of mutation, variability in mutated genes in diverse genetic ancestries and gene–environment interactions. "

Being precise with anticoagulation to reduce adverse drug reactions: are we there yet?
Benjamin Cross et al. Pharmacogenomics J 2024 3 (2) 7 (Posted Mar 12, 2024 0PM)

From the abstract: "This review seeks to highlight the genetic, environmental and clinical factors associated with variability in anticoagulant response, and review the current evidence base for tailoring the drug, dose, and/or monitoring decisions to identified patient subgroups to improve anticoagulant safety. Areas that would benefit from further research are also identified. Validated variants in VKORC1, CYP2C9 and CYP4F2 constitute biomarkers for differential warfarin response and genotype-informed warfarin dosing has been shown to reduce adverse clinical events. "
