1/13 Our evaluation of the UK Biobank Polygenic Risk Score (PRS) Release (Version 2, May 2024) is now out in @plosone (doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone…), with @Genomicsplc @uk_biobank @genomicsEngland. The traditional tweetorial/Xorial follows…

1/11 #medRxiv paper alert: “UK Biobank release and systematic evaluation of optimised polygenic risk scores for 53 diseases and quantitative traits” with @uk_biobank and @genomicsEngland medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…. The traditional tweetorial follows...
Very happy this is finally out. Fructosamine is quite an interesting glycaemic trait. Despite a strong phenotypic correlation with HbA1c, no evidence of genetic correlation. Coloc analysis suggests that some regulation is through pathways affecting albumin levels.
Happy to share another manuscript led by ECR and previous PhD student in my group @fa7gen ! It’s great to see this out!!

Mi hermana lleva más de 1 año buscando trabajo como #IngEnAlimentos. Ella se graduó en 2019 y con la pandemia y sin experiencia no ha encontrado nada aún. Si alguien sabe de algún trabajo, de preferencia en México, contáctenme. RTs también son de ayuda!
Our latest work builds upon the previous CAD work by A) assessing performance of our IRT in ASCVD (a tougher phenotype than CAD) and very importantly : B) validating performance on multiple ethnicities. Must-read thread by @mikeweale
1/9 Hot on the heels of our CAD paper (ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/…) comes our clinical validation across multiple ethnicities and ancestries of a new integrated risk tool for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) (shiny post-proof format: ajconline.org/article/S0002-…).

1/9 Our paper on coronary artery disease (CAD) PRS utility graduated from medRxiv ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/…. Controversial topic with variable utility reported previously. See

Just out, here is our take on the much debated topic of utility of PRS for cardiovascular disease prevention. Big improvement for middle-aged men, but classification improved across the board, with different types of improvement across age and sex.

Sharing another paper resulting from my happy stay with #teambarroso. Great collaboration with University of Cam (special shout out to @COliverWilliam1 and @aidanbutty)
Excited to share our latest article published in @plosgenetics: journals.plos.org/plosgeneti… #plosgeneticsauthor led by a excellent ECR @fa7gen who I was fortunate to mentor!!
It was nice to be back at eSCAMPS sharing our work. Hope more people are encouraged to join the @Genomicsplc team.
We are proudly sponsored by @Genomicsplc, with Fernando Aguilera presenting how genomics plc is improving polygenic risk scores using their own world's largest genotype-phenotype database

First 2020 submission! Work led by very talented ECR Rachel Moore (not on Twitter) and great multi-lab collaboration @OliverStegle!

¿Existe una brecha de género en puestos académicos de la UNAM? Checa mi nuevo análisis de #rstats: tinyurl.com/vh2n2qh
En el 2019, 45% del profesorado de la @UNAM_MX estuvo constituido por mujeres. La UNAM les pagó a los hombres 7% más en promedio que las mujeres. [1/4]

A first deep whole genome sequence-based look at 257 circulating protein biomarkers: novel common and rare variant pQTLs, polygenic risk score prediction and causal links to disease. All in a day’s work for @ArthurGilly :)

So proud of this work and its potential to accelerate translation for a disease of huge public health burden: tinyurl.com/srpa29h @SteinbergJulia
