Proudly presenting our preprint (thread): Maternal diabetes and overweight as risk factors for congenital heart defects in offspring - A nationwide register study from Finland medrxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/7

Check this thread and data resource profile for official release of FinRegistry! An impressive integration of all Finnish people's data. This will open amazing possibilities for research, in Finland and internationally.

Oh boy, looks like research efforts continue in Norway! Based in Oslo, we aim to leverage the unique Nordic datasets (Centre for Fertility and Health FinnGen Karolinska Institutet...) to study risks and consecuences of infections in childhood. Deeply thankful for Päivikki ja Sakari Sohlbergin säätiö for the postdoc grant!

T1D and other autoimmune diseases (AIDs) co-occur in families. How parental AIDs impact T1D risk in offspring and how much of the familial risk is explained by HLA and non-HLA variants? 👩🏻‍🦱🧔🏻‍♂️👶🏻 Find out more from this thread 🧵 and our new preprint ⬇️!medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Yes! The system works. We accessed the data, processed, cleaned, and sent it back for others to use. No gatekeeping. All data should be accessible not by contacting researchers but via impartial, third-party institutions.

FinRegistry study examines register data covering the whole Finnish population. This dataset collection is now available from Findata | Social and Health Data Permit Authority! Kudos to Andrea ganna, Markus Perola 🇫🇮🇪🇪🇺🇦 and the whole FinRegistry team at FIMM and THL for enabling this. #OpenScience 📰findata.fi/en/news/finreg…

Beautiful human genetics discovery of a missense variant in VE-PTP (aka PTPRB) that increases the risk of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) and varicose veins, but decreases risk of glaucoma. ​ VE-PTP encodes vascular endothelial-protein tyrosine phosphatase (removes

👇 Terveydenhuollon palveluvalikoima (PALKO) kudos, especially for considering the young siblings as risk factor, it's supported by many studies and can lead to better targeting! The work continues Santtu Heinonen Samuel Arthur Rhedin Sakari Jukarainen et al - can we refine risk stratification to be even more useful?

How well do EHR-based scores predict disease onset compared to PGS? Can we predict disease onset in Finland using EHR-scores trained in the UK or Estonia? To find out what our intervene_eu study discovered, come see our poster at #ESHG2024 on 3.6. at 15:45

FIMM Dissertation! Mattia Cordioli will defend his doctoral dissertation "Leveraging large-scale biobanks for genetic discovery and better public health" on 11 June. Associate Professor Zoltán Kutalik, University of Lausanne, will serve as the opponent: helsinginyliopisto.etapahtuma.fi/Kalenteri/Engl…

Honoured to receive the #ERCStG - my team will try to figure how we could better protect the human thymus during stem cell transplantation for the benefit of patients undergoing this extreme treatment. Thank you European Research Council (ERC) - now the work begins 💪🏻

Seeing some black on white makes it feel a little bit less unbelievable! None of the work would have been possible without all the colleagues I had pleasure to work with during my PhD. The biggest thanks go to Jussi Taipale and Teemu Kivioja who supervised the work.
