The COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative has released a manuscript covering the results from the latest data release. At 51 loci we can start clearly mapping biological pathways involved in COVID-19 severity and susceptibility. For example, entry defense by airway mucus. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

🎉 Our #GWAS of gestational diabetes in #FinnGen is now available on medrxiv! We disentangle the genetic relationship of GDM with Type 2 diabetes using new methods we think could be much more broadly useful. A brief thread 🧵 1/7 medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

An incredible illustration by @GitaPathakPhD on the genetic susceptibility to acute severe COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2 infection. One glance - and you learn the critical genes involved in virus entry and host innate immune defenses needed to combat the virus. nature.com/articles/s4158…

4 years ago, we ran 16,554 GWASes for 7,271 traits across 6 ancestry groups and released the data to the public along with meta-analysis. After many careful dives through the results, we are happy to present these analyses on behalf of the Pan-UKB Project: medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Could not be more delighted to present our work investigating how over 220,000 complex and molecular trait-associated genetic variants affect transcriptional regulation using massively parallel reporter assays! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… See below for a 🧵. 1/n
