Among the more than 19,000 women followed in the study, published Tuesday, Feb. 16, in the Journal of the American Medical Assocation, those deemed by the genetic screen to be in the lowest risk group had a 3% risk of developing heart disease, while those in the highest risk group had a 3.7% risk - just barely significant and, by Paynter's admission, not a large difference at all. "Adding the risk scores really didn't add anything," she says. (See the top 10 scientific discoveries...
After swallowing hard - "I never worked with royal mummies before," he says - Pusch agreed. Now, 2½ years later, the results of the inquiries are in, in the form of a paper in the Journal of the American Medical Association, published on Tuesday...
