@jespereugen tak :)

Our new paper is out! We measured 47 inflammatory markers in almost 10,000 healthy Danish blood donors, studying their effects on age, BMI, and smoking. Understanding the healthy state is important for understanding disease progression and optimizing care.

New study published in Scientific Reports! Our findings support the existence of links between systemic inflammation and #RLS, including an association between RLS and a high concentration of autoantibodies specific against the cytokine interferon-alpha.

@ClaesWassmann Awesome study mate! 😃👏

Is inflammation associated with Restless Legs Syndrome (#RLS)? The NLR can be used as an inflammation marker but differing results from small studies have made it unclear whether NLR is associated with RLS. We investigated this further in 13k blood donors

Are increased levels of hepcidin, an iron regulatory protein in the blood, associated with Restless Legs Syndrome #RLS? We investigated this in 10,000 otherwise healthy blood donors. Read about our study, which has just been published in Sleep Medicine:

[Det Danske Bloddonorstudie @Bloddonorstudie]

Med hjælp fra 12.000 bloddonorer fra Det Danske Bloddonorstudie har forskere for første gang fundet 13 genvarianter, der påvirker inflammations markøren suPAR.

@JosephDowsett investigate the genetic implications of soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor in human plasma, identifying eleven genetic loci associated with its increase or decrease.

Danske forskere står i spidsen for det hidtil største studie af uro i benene – også kendt som RLS. Studiet har ført til opdagelsen af tre særlige genvarianter, der har betydning for udviklingen af sygdommen. Læs mere her👇 #givblod @givblodofficial https://t.co/mY2GeBdRAm

For anyone who thinks that #COVID19 is just like a flu!

Please read our new publication reporting an estimated infection fatality rate (IFR) of 5.4% for patients 70 years or older. IFR is 65 fold increased compared to the the younger adult population.

I have a soft spot for GWAS Manhattan Plots, and this GWAS bot based on UK Biobank data is one of my favourite Twitter accounts to follow. Here you'll find an interesting peak for fresh fruit intake 😆👍
