Come check out our poster tomorrow on whole-exome sequencing of colitis adverse events in patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors #AACR25 @ucsfcancer.bsky.social @mskcancercenter.bsky.social

Thrilled to share our work on investigating the role of a polygenic risk score for overall autoimmunity in cessation of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy for toxicities. bit.ly/3E3NkoX @adamjschoenfeld.bsky.social @ucsfcancer.bsky.social @ucsfmedicine.bsky.social @mskcancercenter.bsky.social

Excited to share our latest work exploring the role of germline genetics in the development of multiple primary cancers @lindakachuri.bsky.social @jovia-n.bsky.social @johnwitte.bsky.social

Work by PhD student @jayatirsharma.bsky.social on how grouping Hispanic/Latino participants into a single group can obfuscate substantial substructure, leading to false conclusions. We show how heterogeneity by background group wrt genetic ancestry and environment can affect genetic risk models.

This paper was a long time coming, happy to see it out today in @naturecomms.bsky.social: www.nature.com/articles/s41... We found some interesting links between genetic regulation of blood cell traits and #glioma risk + survival, pointing to #immune related mechanisms 🧠🧬

As incoming chair of the young investigator committee of the International Genetic Epidemiology Society (IGES), I'd like to share a great opportunity for 5 Early Career Researchers to join the different IGES committees, deadline 31st Dec, details here: www.geneticepi.org/yic_position...

One of the most important multi-cancer analyses on #ImmuneRelatedAdverseEvent grading and clinical outcome is out this week from @JNCI : https://buff.ly/499OIBj

These people made it all possible: @supportingswog.bsky.social

🎨 In case anyone need… The NIH BioArt Source is an awesome library of *free* professionally drawn illustrations for scientific presentations or figures. Downloadable in HD. Thank you NIH for this invaluable tool 🙏! Check it out 👇 bioart.niaid.nih.gov

In a new preprint led by @TheNikhilMilind, we explored a fascinating paradox: For many traits the number of duplications or loss-of-function (LoF) mutations is correlated with phenotype. Curiously, for most traits, the AVERAGE direction of LoFs and Dups is the SAME. Why?

Thrilled to see our work on genetic prediction of immune checkpoint inhibitor-mediated colitis published t.co/nsCV47ahwl

Our isoTWAS work with the Pasaniuc and Gandal labs is out at Nature Genetics! Great team effort, especially from Daniel Vo and Connor Jops. Appreciate the helpful and thoughtful comments from reviewers that improved our work! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I'm writing a molecular perspective on heritability, behavior, (and eventually) race/ancestry, group differences. The idea is to start with what we've learned from genetic data and then work backwards to what we used to know from classical studies. gusevlab.org/projects/hsq/

We’re back with a bigger and better GWAS of PSA levels! 🤩 We substantially increased sample size in African ancestry (+58k) and Hispanic/Latino (+23k) men, which translates into meaningful improvements in PRS performance www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

Trying to be better with sharing work on here 😅 Check out our paper that identifies novel immune-mediated risk factors for glioma. We also found interesting genetic associations with survival and features of the tumor immune microenvironment 🧬 🧠
