AbstractMultiomics has shown promise in noninvasive risk profiling and early detection of various common diseases. In the present study, in a prospective population-based cohort with ~18 years of e-health record follow-up, we investigated the incremental and combined value of genomic and gut metagenomic risk assessment compared with conventional risk factors for predicting incident coronary artery disease (CAD), type 2 diabetes (T2D), Alzheimer disease and prostate cancer.

dispute.
As slogans go, it's not bad. It's maybe not as catchy as
Nike's "Just Do It" but it's a good one
for real estate lawyers.
The court case in question (Sheriff v O'Rourke - 13
April 2023 - Sheriff Appeal Court) involved a disagreement as
