🧬 Out today - our DCM GWAS in Nature Genetics 📍nature.com/articles/s4158… All made possible with friends and collaborators from HERMES Consortium Albert Henry Tom Lumbers James Ware MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) BHFCoREImperial NHLI See 🧵 for the cool science

New research by NHLI & MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) reveals how our genes influence cardiac trabeculae, a network of heart muscle fibres, providing new insights into the heart’s adaptive response to disease 🫀 Kathryn McGurk Declan O'Regan James Ware Sean Zheng Arun Sau imperial.ac.uk/news/258501/ne…



We’re really excited to focus on understanding takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Have your say and take part in research to help us find the causes, risks, and treatments 💪🫀🧬Cardiomyopathy UK British Heart Foundation BHF Northern Ireland BHF Scotland BHF Cymru Global Heart Hub

Estimated population penetrance for variants associated with cardiomyopathies are now displayed alongside cardiac allele frequencies. This information is useful when considering secondary findings. Kathryn McGurk James Ware and @cvgenomics | #cardiogen



Dilated cardiomyopathy is diagnosed twice as often in males, but sex-specific diagnostics can reduce this bias. Understanding genetic & environmental factors is crucial for equitable care! James Ware Brian Halliday Kathryn McGurk Antonio de Marvao Chang Lu ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.11…


Excited to discuss our work on penetrance at #ESHG2025 in Milan, Sun 25th May at 5.15pm CEST. Thanks to European Society of Human Genetics (ESHG) for their support while I’m on maternity leave 👶🏼 2025.eshg.org/speakers/
