Our pre-print describing the @uk_biobank Pharma Proteomics Project (UKB-PPP) is now online!

https://t.co/ymJuXDw9sg

We identify 10k+ genetic associations w/ protein concentrations; 85% are new.

The data should help drive discovery of new biomarkers, diagnostics & medicines.

Wondering what the story behind the #ovariestalkaboutthem campaign is?Want to watch a video where I talk a lot WITH MY HANDS?! 🤦🏼‍♀️ Ignore my hand waving and listen to my message about being motivated by all the women and families affected by #ovariancancer https://t.co/xAm844nNRy

[Prof Caroline Ford @DrCFord]

Ovaries. Talk about them. Our campaign with @camillaandmarc launches today to raise awareness and funding for #OvarianCancer Find out more at https://t.co/2isxIqt5jK #ovariestalkaboutthem

Sadly, this is a story that is all too common in Australia 2022.

Australia spent a million dollars training me – and now I’m leaving https://t.co/LMGIn43rdY

@PeterAJohansson @Griffith_Uni @QIMRBerghofer Thanks! That works. Another DNA repair pathway gene implicated, yet the number of mutations is still relatively low in uveal melanomas? Maybe confined to the homologous recombination repair pathway, which promotes 3/3p losses and 8q gains, amongst others? Thoughts?
