Background Glaucoma is a leading cause of worldwide irreversible blindness. Considerable uncertainty remains regarding the association between a variety of phenotypes and the genetic risk of glaucoma, as well as the impact they exert on the glaucoma development. Methods We investigated the associations of genetic liability for primary open angle g...

The objective of this study is to define CT imaging derived phenotypes for patients with hepatic steatosis, a common metabolic liver condition, and determine its association with patient data from a medical biobank. There is a need to further characterize hepatic steatosis in lean patients, as its epidemiology may differ from that in overweight pat...

... Furthermore, we found T cell levels to be the single most predictive factor. Notably, it is the anamnestic T cell response that is the earliest during a breakthrough infection 30 . Moreover, the nAbs produced after booster vaccination are well below those in children with VVI(S) hybrid immunity, which is the only group with antibody titers above the threshold associated with protection from symptomatic infection. ...
... The UKB is composed of >500,000 participating individuals aged 37-73 years at the time of recruitment, who underwent various questionnaires, physical measurements, biological sampling (blood and urine), and genome sequencing across 22 assessment centers in the UK 30 . A subset of participants were invited to complete an additional examination that included magnetic resonance imaging of the heart 10 .The PMBB is composed of 174,712 consenting patients of the Penn Medicine health network, with a subset of 44,000 participants with available genotyping data 11 . Additionally, all participants medical records including imaging results are de-identified and linked to their identifier. ...
