Genetic adjustment of PSA values may reduce unnecessary testing and increase the detection of aggressive #ProstateCancer tumors, according to research presented at #AACR22

The last chapter of my thesis on genetic risk factors for developing multiple primary tumors is now on @medrxivpreprint! Through #WES data from @uk_biobank and @KPDOR, we identify potential pleiotropic variation in individuals with multiple cancers. @johnwitte @LoriSakoda

New! Genomic analyses from Jiang et al. suggest that genetics could help guide clinical management of #prostate cancer

Human genetics & Disease risk (and cool prior work on hypertension)!
Meet some of our newer faculty members in this bite-sized format. Reach out to collaborate if someone, like @JoviaNierenberg, shares interests. @johnwitte @UCSFCancer bddy.me/3zHkZOa

New @WitteLab paper on cfDNA in prostate cancer by @emmalyn_chen (happy birthday!), @clintcario , @pcarroll_ et al. Targeted cfDNA sequencing can detect somatic tissue alterations in heterogeneous, localized disease. ascopubs.org/doi/full/10.120… @UCSF_Epibiostat @UCSFCancer
New @WitteLab study led by @nima_genome and @taylorbcavazos finds novel loci and genes associated with prostate cancer in over 200,000 men from @uk_biobank and @KPDOR. @UCSFUrology @johnwitte bit.ly/3ulemh9
Congratulations to @ErinNGilbertson for receiving an NSF Honorable Mention! This is a significant national academic achievement and we @UCSF are proud of Erin.
New @WitteLab paper on cfDNA in prostate cancer by
@emmalyn_chen, @johnwitte, @felixfengmd. While cfDNA concentration predicts mets, it has limited diagnostic ability for localized dx. But fragment size may distinguish localized dx. rdcu.be/cgdyB. @UCSF_Epibiostat
Exciting findings from @WitteLab collaboration with @KPDOR led by @RebeccaEGraff shows cross-phenotype PRS effects may enable a more integrated model of cancer risk prediction, and inform new strategies toward reducing the burden of cancer. @LoriSakoda @johnwitte @taylorbcavazos
Evaluating cross-cancer relationships of polygenic risk scores for 16 cancers in two large cohorts.

Great video and blog post by @Linda_Kachuri explaining results from our recent paper showing how PRS improve cancer risk prediction. Watch it here and read the story behind the paper: go.nature.com/2XyMPu1

New @WitteLab paper from PhD student @taylorbcavazos on improving transferability of polygenic risk scores. @johnwitte @UCSF
Thrilled to have my 1st PhD paper published at @HGGAdvances! Here, we provide further evidence to support the push towards inclusivity in GWAS showing variants identified in diverse populations may be necessary to achieve equality in PRS prediction. tinyurl.com/yyhzqoom
