MI-GENES randomized patients at intermediate cardiovascular risk to disclosure of framingham risk score 🆚an integrated score also incuding a polygenic risk score (PRS)🧬 Disclosing the PRS led to 👉lower LDL 👉higher statin initiation 👉lower 10-y cardiovascular event rates

Despite being a leading cause of global disease burden, especially in #LMICs, most genetic research on #MDD has excluded African populations (figure caption in the ALT text ). #DepGenAfrica aims to change that! 2/7

I often post about how fast the field of psychiatric genetics is moving🧠🧬 The Psychiatric Genomics Consortium is very active delivering some of the largest GWASs across all human diseases. This review covers genetics of schizophrenia, depression, and bipolar disorder👇
