An interesting riddle for those curious to know about consanguinity in 15th century. 🙃 The GRACE project is also involved in creating awareness about genetics and genetic conditions in families with consanguineous marriages in the UK.

New research led by Genomics England highlights the need for greater diversity in genetic research to make genomics’ use in cancer care and screening more accurate and reliable for all. Find out more: ow.ly/LOUj50Wcg2q

We are looking forward to this meeting! If you are going, come and say hello!

Fantastic meeting full of fabulous talks and discussions on population genomic screening! And an @openuniversity.bsky.social staff reunion is always delightful!

Delighted to see NELI, the Nuffield Early Language Intervention programme, described as an ‘education silver bullet’ by @beckyfrancis.bsky.social in @schoolsweek.bsky.social.

💨 Data from over 300,000 UK Biobank participants show that air pollution can raise older people’s risk of a condition causing unbearably itchy skin. Almost 16% of late-life eczema cases could be prevented by cutting air pollution in the worst-affected areas researchers estimate.
