Article Synopsis
- Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a major cause of heart failure, and this study analyzes genetic factors by examining 14,256 DCM cases and 36,203 participants from the UK Biobank for related traits.
- Researchers discovered 80 genomic risk loci and pinpointed 62 potential effector genes tied to DCM, including some linked to rare variants.
- The study uses advanced transcriptomics to explore how cellular functions contribute to DCM, showing that polygenic scores can help predict the disease in the general population and emphasize the importance of genetic testing and development of precise treatments.
Lu can be imaged after administration using SPECT/CT. Most work to date has focused on using posttreatment imaging to measure normal organ and tumor dose. We aimed to assess the impact of posttreatment SPECT/CT on the management of patients undergoing Lu-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT).

Machine learning (ML) algorithms can define data-driven disease subtypes in an unbiased fashion, but whether the AF subgroups defined in this way align with underlying mechanisms, such as high polygenic liability to AF or inflammation, and associate with clinical outcomes is unclear.
Methods: We identified individuals with AF in a large biobank linked to electronic health records (EHR) and genome-wide genotyping.
