TL;DR: In a population-based study in Iceland, children under 10 years of age and females had a lower incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection than adolescents or adults and males and the proportion of infected participants identified through population screening remained stable for the 20-day duration of screening.

TL;DR: The authors' results indicate that antiviral antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 did not decline within 4 months after diagnosis, and antiviral antibody titers assayed by two pan-Ig assays remained on a plateau for the remainder of the study.

TL;DR: Allele −8 of the microsatellite DG8S737 was associated with prostate cancer in three case-control series of European ancestry from Iceland, Sweden and the US, and the association was replicated in an African American case- control group with a similar OR, leading to a greater estimated PAR.

TL;DR: Ovarian tumors from heterozygous carriers of the Icelandic mutation show loss of the wild-type allele, indicating that BRIP1 behaves like a classical tumor suppressor gene in ovarian cancer.

TL;DR: An association between gastric cancer in Europeans and three loci previously reported in Asians, MUC1, PRKAA1 and PSCA, is confirmed and a pathogenic role for the tandem repeat identified in M UC1 is supported.
