@mariazanti.bsky.social‬ and @kmichailidou.bsky.social addressed this by estimating breast cancer risk from case-control data. Variants causing loss-of-function ONLY in HAP1 moderately increased risk (OR=3.3). Yet variants that were loss-of-function in BOTH lines highly increased risk (OR>10). 10/n

Our latest research is out today on ‪@medrxivpreprint.bsky.social: www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... Saturation genome editing of BRCA1 across cell types accurately resolves cancer risk. Led by the amazing Phoebe Dace. This one’s packed full of data, so check out the paper. Quick highlights… 🧵 1/n

🔬Excited to share our new publication in @natcomms.nature.com, presenting large-scale case-control evidence for BRCA1/2 variant classification 💡A major step forward in reducing VUS uncertainty in hereditary breast & ovarian cancer 🌍 Incredible teamwork across international consortia

1/3 Our manuscript describing a multi-ancenstry version of our S4 algorithm for polygenic risk model development. Performance compared with other methods using both a previously published simulated data set and data from UK Biobank/All of Us/Biobank Japan/FinnGen doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Together with the NIHR (National Institute for Health and Care Research), the EPSRC, Health Data Research UK (HDR UK) and ADR UK (Administrative Data Research UK), we’re announcing a £10m programme which will help identify individual cancer risk 🙌 Read more 👉 cruk.ink/42q0aaY

Excited to share our latest study in @nature.com We used a humanized-mouse ES cell model to explore the functional consequences of all possible BRCA2 missense variants. We've clinically classified >6,500 variants and >1,200 reported in ClinVar! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
