Scientists sharpen genetic maps to help pinpoint DNA changes that influence human health traits and disease risk

Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health traits. By probing regions of DNA previously linked to disease, the work has created high-resolution maps of DNA variant activity, helping pinpoint the exact changes that shape blood pressure, cholesterol levels, blood sugar, and other complex human traits.
