Claim by claim

A source study was identified, but the study's evidence could not be prepared for claim assessment. The claims below have not been assessed.

Claim 1 of 6Not checkedIn three landmark studies published in Nature today, Australian researchers made major advances in understanding how genetic differences between people influence disease.View evidenceHide evidence

Not checked

A source study was identified, but the evidence comparison for this claim was not completed. No verdict has been assigned.

Claim 2 of 6Not checkedThe team linked genetic risk regions for 16 diseases to possible causes in specific immune cells, identifying nearly 1,500 genes that may contribute to diseases ranging from cancers to immune and neurological conditions.View evidenceHide evidence

As stated16 diseases; nearly 1,500 genes

Not checked

A source study was identified, but the evidence comparison for this claim was not completed. No verdict has been assigned.

Claim 3 of 6Not checkedThe work is described as the first major output of the TenK10K project, which aims to map genetic variation and gene activity in immune cells from 10,000 people.View evidenceHide evidence

As stated10,000 people

Not checked

A source study was identified, but the evidence comparison for this claim was not completed. No verdict has been assigned.

Claim 4 of 6Not checkedThe studies used genomes from nearly 2,000 Australians and single-cell measurements from more than 5 million immune cells to trace genetic variants to cell types and disease links.View evidenceHide evidence

As statednearly 2,000 Australians; more than 5 million immune cells

Not checked

A source study was identified, but the evidence comparison for this claim was not completed. No verdict has been assigned.

Claim 5 of 6Not checkedOne example described in the story is a genetic variant that increases OSM expression in natural killer immune cells and increases the risk of irritable bowel disease.View evidenceHide evidence

Not checked

A source study was identified, but the evidence comparison for this claim was not completed. No verdict has been assigned.

Claim 6 of 6Not checkedThe three studies examine different layers of gene regulation: common and rare variants affecting gene activity, tandem repeat variation, and chromatin accessibility, with the chromatin-accessibility analysis said to explain up to 23% more disease-linked regions than gene activity alone.View evidenceHide evidence

As statedup to 23% more disease-linked genetic regions

Not checked

A source study was identified, but the evidence comparison for this claim was not completed. No verdict has been assigned.
