Lethal mutations in pregnancy loss

REYKJAVIK, Iceland, May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In a study published in Nature today “Sequence diversity lost in early pregnancy,” scientists from deCODE genetics, a subsidiary of Amgen, estimate that around one in 136 pregnancies are lost due to new mutations in the fetus. In other words, millions of pregnancies worldwide are lost because of mutations every year.

Hakon Jonsson and Gudny Anna Arnadottir scientists at deCODE genetics and authors on the paper in Nature
Hakon Jonsson and Gudny Anna Arnadottir scientists at deCODE genetics and authors on the paper in Nature

The human genome varies between individuals, but there are some locations in the genome where there seems to be little or no sequence variation between individuals. This raises the question whether the sequences at these locations are essential for human development? It is known that mutations in essential genomic sequences are major contributors to neurodevelopmental disorders, the question remains, do they also contribute to pregnancy loss?

As part of a Nordic collaboration, scientists from deCODE genetics sought to answer these questions by sequencing 467 samples from pregnancy losses from a prospective study initiated by Henriette Svarre Nielsen and Eva R. Hoffmann.

Interestingly, by comparing the genomes of the fetuses from pregnancy losses to their parents the scientists found that the fetuses harbored a similar number of new mutations as adults.

“Despite the similar numbers, we discovered that the main difference between the lost fetuses and adults was that the mutations in the fetuses occurred in essential genomic sequences,” says Hákon Jónsson scientist at deCODE genetics, and one of the authors on the paper.

Moreover, they managed to pinpoint when, in the development of the fetus, some of the mutations occurred.

In addition to mapping new mutations in the lost fetuses, they also showed that some couples are at a higher risk of pregnancy loss due to genetic compatibility issues. You inherit one copy of a gene from each parent, and most of the time, you are fine with one defective copy, but problems can arise if you inherit a defective copy from both parents.

“We have shown previously that for certain genes, you never observe two defective copies in adult genomes, but we found two defective copies in some of the pregnancy losses. Importantly, these involve a high risk for recurrence of pregnancy loss for the couple but can be selected against in IVF treatments,” says Guðný A. Árnadóttir scientist at deCODE genetics, and one of the authors on the paper.

Along with recombination, the continuous generation of mutations enables us to evolve as a species. However, this continuous influx of new mutations comes at the expense of rare diseases. This study demonstrates the contribution of mutations to pregnancy loss and sheds new light on conserved sequences in the human genome.

Based in Reykjavik, Iceland, deCODE genetics is a global leader in analyzing and understanding the human genome. Using its unique expertise and population resources, deCODE has discovered genetic risk factors for dozens of common diseases. The purpose of understanding the genetics of disease is to use that information to create new means of diagnosing, treating and preventing disease. deCODE genetics is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amgen.

SK Networks President Sunghwan Choi encounters former UK Prime Minister

  • Held a breakfast meeting with ex-UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak during his visit to South Korea and discussed exchanges and AI cooperation between both nations.
  • Anticipations that strengthening collaboration with important global figures and entities will enhance the corporate value of SK Networks.

SEOUL, South Korea, May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — SK Networks, aiming to evolve into an “AI-focused business holding company”, is intensifying its initiatives to enhance collaboration and expand its operations through a global network. In this context, Sunghwan Choi, President & COO of SK Networks, who has been steering the tech-focused AI operations of the headquarters and its subsidiaries, reportedly met with former UK Prime Minister Sunak to explore methods for improving exchanges and corporate collaboration between the two nations.

As stated by company representatives, this Tuesday at The Shilla Seoul, President Choi and former Prime Minister Sunak held a breakfast meeting to exchange global trends and discuss AI and other technological collaborations between nations and corporations. SK Networks founded Hico Capital (now SK Networks Americas) in Silicon Valley, USA, in 2020. The company has been concentrating on global investments in and partnerships with technology firms centered around Hicosystem, the human network associated with future expansion sectors. The opportunity for an unexpected in-person meeting between Rishi Sunak, who visited South Korea for an international conference, and Sunghwan Choi is believed to stem from this network.

During this meeting, the pair shared perspectives on the current state of the global economy. They also discussed approaches to enhance relations between the two countries from the viewpoints of a politician and a business leader, as well as the possibilities and examples of AI collaboration at both national and corporate levels. In this context, President Choi presented innovative AI-based cases and global strategies from SK Group and SK Networks, expressing optimism that, in line with current trends, the company’s AI endeavors would grow in the UK and across Europe, aiding the advancement of human civilization.

The industry has high expectations for the future potential of SK Networks, which is evolving into an AI company. In particular, NAMUHx held a showcase last month and received a favorable response from participants for its groundbreaking air purification and vital sign monitoring capabilities powered by AI. The brand intends to expand into the international market, including the US and Malaysia, following its official launch in Korea in July. It was established from the resources of SK Magic and is strategically overseen by SK Networks. NAMUHx manages its brand communication independently, emphasizing innovative technologies and services that differentiate it from SK Magic’s existing products. PhnyX Lab, an AI startup comprised of Silicon valley talent, introduced a modular RAG (retrieval augmented generation) solution for the pharmaceutical sector named Cheiron at the end of last year and is preparing for market growth by forming tailored partnerships with businesses. The heads of SK Magic and PhnyX Lab attended the meeting alongside President Choi and former Prime Minister Sunak. Former Prime Minister Sunak stated, “AI holds the key to transforming the future of drug development. It promises new levels of speed and precision that could help hundreds of millions of patients around the world.” He added, “Phynx Lab’s Cherion looks like the kind of technology that has the potential to play an important part in this revolution.”

SK Networks’ efforts in collaborating and partnering with prominent global personalities and firms are expected to enhance its position as an AI enterprise.
