So proud of this work and its potential to accelerate translation for a disease of huge public health burden: tinyurl.com/srpa29h Julia Steinberg

A first deep whole genome sequence-based look at 257 circulating protein biomarkers: novel common and rare variant pQTLs, polygenic risk score prediction and causal links to disease. All in a day’s work for Arthur Gilly :)



First 2020 submission! Work led by very talented ECR Rachel Moore (not on Twitter) and great multi-lab collaboration Oliver Stegle! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…



Sharing another paper resulting from my happy stay with #teambarroso. Great collaboration with University of Cam (special shout out to @COliverWilliam1 and Adam Butterworth)




1/9 Our paper on coronary artery disease (CAD) PRS utility graduated from medRxiv ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI…. Controversial topic with variable utility reported previously. See journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/a… jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/… jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/… jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/… Thread

Our latest work builds upon the previous CAD work by A) assessing performance of our IRT in ASCVD (a tougher phenotype than CAD) and very importantly : B) validating performance on multiple ethnicities. Must-read thread by Mike Weale
