The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and the National Human Genome Research Institute have awarded a team of Yale researchers a grant for studying recurrent pregnancy loss. The nearly $8 million dollar grant will pave the way for the team to identify genes and types of genetic variation that may be responsible in individuals who experience multiple miscarriages. “The grant will put Yale on the map as one of the two largest centers in the country for understanding the genetics of pregnancy loss,” says Hugh S. Taylor, MD, Anita O’Keeffe Young Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences and professor of molecular, cellular, and developmental biology.

Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) have received a $5 million federal grant to pool genomic information from existing and new datasets – predominantly in African and African American populations in order to calculate the risk of developing specific diseases. They will use sophisticated modeling and genetic datasets to calculate the risk, known as a polygenic risk score, with an emphasis on studying people from different ancestries.
