I wrote about how population stratification in genetic analyses led to a decade of false findings and almost certainly continues to bias emerging results. But we are starting to have statistical tools to sniff it out. A 🧵:

Totally agree and very easy to disprove. E.g Someone who is homozygous KO for PCSK9 will get very marginal (if any) LDL improvement (and therefore CAD risk reduction) from being homoygous KO for APOB. In individuals there are clear limits to additivity!

Crowbarring 10 rare 'protective' (as observed in GWAS) alleles all at once into a genome? Personally, I'd rather not try it. Fully agree with the statement here
www.arrige.org/documents/
on the Heritable Polygenic Editing paper in Nature. Not just provactive, highly irresponsible.
