Variants in the genome affect DNA methylation

A new study by scientists at deCODE Genetics, a subsidiary of Amgen, shows that sequence variants drive the correlation between DNA methylation and gene expression. The same variants are linked to various diseases as well as other human traits. Kari Stefansson, senior...

Multiomics study of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

Scientists at deCODE genetics in Iceland have discovered rare, protective loss-of-function variants that point to potential drug targets for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Kari Stefansson CEO of deCODE genetics and senior author on the paper and Gardar...
