Heterogeneous effects of genetic variants and traits associated with fasting insulin on cardiometabolic outcomes - Nature Communications
By Magdalena Sevilla-Gonzalez, Elizabeth Litkowski, Hyunkyung Kim, Ching-Ti Liu, Chenglong Yu, John McNeil, John Mcneil, Paul Lacaze, Kenneth Westerman, Kyong-Mi Chang, Philip S. Tsao, Lawrence Phillips, Mark O Goodarzi, Jerome I. Rotter, Josée Dupuis, Jose C. Florez, Jordi Merino, Miriam S. Udler| Nature Verified AbstractElevated fasting insulin levels (FI), indicative of altered insulin secretion and sensitivity, may precede type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease onset. In this study, we group FI-associated genetic variants based on their genetic and phenotypic similarities and identify seven clusters with distinct mechanisms contributing to elevated FI levels.
“Uninsurable because of a genetic test”: a qualitative study of consumer views about the use of genetic test results in Australian life insurance - European Journal of Human Genetics
By Aideen McInerney-Leo, Tiffany F Boughtwood, Kristine K Barlow-Stewart, Paul Lacaze, Lyndon Gallacher| Nature Verified AbstractGenetic testing can provide valuable information to mitigate personal disease risk, but the use of genetic results in life insurance underwriting is known to deter many consumers from pursuing genetic testing. In 2019, following Australian Federal Parliamentary Inquiry recommendations, the Financial Services Council (FSC) introduced an industry-led partial moratorium, prohibiting life insurance companies from using genetic test results for policies up to $AUD500,000.
