Great opportunity for someone to join our dynamic group @cvgenomics.bsky.social as a research assistant, where we are using genomics and transcriptomics to better understand heart disease. Closing date 27th August for applications! @mrc-lms.bsky.social @jamesware.bsky.social t.co/u68MZ6DDFD

Now available in the PGS Catalog 🔗: www.pgscatalog.org/publication/...! Thanks to authors like Sean for submitting the data directly, find out how to submit your data at pgscatalog.org/submit

New LMS research shows how a risk score based on an individual’s genetic profile could help doctors predict the likelihood of them developing a deadly heart condition in the future 🧬🫀

Doctors could soon begin offering patients and families personalised advice on their risk of developing hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, thanks to a new study on genomic risk scores that estimates risk based on a person's DNA 🧬🫀 www.imperial.ac.uk/news/261253/...

🧵 Polygenic scores in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 📎 Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41... in @naturegenet.bsky.social We created PGS using sumstats from our linked GWAS study www.nature.com/articles/s41..., evaluating it across a range of clinical settings in several cohorts. 1/n

🚨Our double header on genetics of hypertrophic #cardiomyopathy out today in @naturegenet.bsky.social 🧬 📍GWAS www.nature.com/articles/s41... 📍polygenic scores www.nature.com/articles/s41... A consortia effort by @jamesware.bsky.social Hugh Watkins @conniebezzina.bsky.social Rafik Tadros & Anuj Goel

Congratulations Dr Sean Zheng on being featured as a rising star in CardioPulse – a European Heart Journal mini-series that shines a spotlight on early career researchers in cardiology!🎊

Genome-wide association analyses in Nature Genetics provide insights into the molecular etiology of dilated cardiomyopathy, which may inform the design of genetic testing strategies and may facilitate the development of targeted therapeutics. https://go.nature.com/4fIkNmh 🧪
