WTF with Rhythm: How GeneType personalises disease prevention

Tylah Tully chats with Rhythm Biosciences (ASX:RHY) Director of Clinical and Scientific Affairs Dr Erika Spaeth, who explains the growing role of polygenic risk scores (PRS) in preventive healthcare.

Dr. Spaeth highlights Rhythm’s GeneType risk assessment, which predicts risk for nine diseases – six cancers (breast, ovarian, prostate, colorectal, pancreatic, and melanoma) and three cardiometabolic conditions.

She notes that with initiatives like Genomics Australia’s $50 million investment, PRS is expected to become an integral part of future screening programs, improving risk stratification and enabling earlier, more targeted interventions.
