Large-scale proteomics in population-based studies from UK and Iceland

n an article revealed today in Nature, scientists from deCODE Genetics, a subsidiary of the pharmaceutical company Amgen, demonstrated how plasma proteomics can contribute to a better understanding of diseases. The study’s focus on the plasma proteome led the team to find associations between various diseases and the levels of specific proteins. “Measuring a great number of proteins in a population-based cohort enables the discovery of circulating biomarkers and the early detection of disease,” says Patrick Sulem, scientist at deCODE genetics and one of the senior authors on the paper.
