Delighted to share our study by Sarah Urbut with Akl Fahed on adding in a CAD polygenic risk score to clinical factors to boost CAD risk prediction, particularly for recovering premature CAD events ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI… Circulation: Genomic and Precision Medicine


Exciting to see a series of human genetic observations we made a few years back now moving into therapeutic space ALK7 loss of function mutations, better body fat distribution, reduced T2D risk --> ArrowheadPharma siRNA, pre-clinical data confirming above, to Phase 1 this year


Excited to share our latest publication where we identified a novel and essential role of TTN enhancer.
