Had a great time presenting at #WCPG2024! Shared our work on expanding autism genetic insights across diverse ancestries, exploring both common and rare variants. #Genetics #ASD #crossancestrygenetics

What does it mean to be Latin American? I don't know. The term spans so many cultures and identities that defining a single concept feels impossible. Today, our article on one aspect of Latin American diversity (genetics) was published in Cell Genomics. cell.com/cell-genomics/…

We are looking for good non-brazilians candidates to apply together for these PhD fellowships in Brazil, to work on human genomics and computational biology of Latin Americans. If interested, email to [email protected]

Attending #ASHG24 ? We are excited to present our results on Genetic diversity, admixture dynamics and GWAS in Peruvian populations! Come to say hi and chat at my poster this Thursday!

Join me today at Poster 5029 at #ASHG2024 for a deep dive into how ancestry impacts genetic variants related to ASD, analyzing both common and rare variants across diverse populations. Let's push forward inclusive genetic research! 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬 #Genomics #ASDResearch #ASHG SickKids Genetics & Genome Biology Program

Super interesting poster presentation today at #ASHG24 !

Highly recommend this insightful paper from Fred Zhou on the role of variants and haplotypes in the SORL1 gene in Alzheimer's disease. What makes it even better is the inclusion of East Asian samples—an important step toward broader representation in genetic research! 🙌

Why is #ASD more common in males? A new genetic discovery by SickKids and @ospedalegaslini researchers in AJHG offers clues by linking a new gene (DDX53) + 59 variants on the X chromosome to #autism spectrum disorder. Read about the #SKResearch🧬⬇️ sickkids.ca/en/news/archiv…

Very happy to share our recent preprint, which presents an extensive analysis of genetic diversity and subcontinental ancestry in the All of Us Research Program. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🎉 Excited to share our new preprint on PTCHD1-AS, an X-linked lncRNA that regulates Autistic behaviour (also identified in our earlier XWAS paper)! Using WGS, mouse models, and multi-omics! 📖 Full story: researchsquare.com/article/rs-561… #AutismResearch #Genetics #Neurodevelopment
