Extremely happy that our work got accepted in #ATVB! We functionally profiled 400 biobank samples, linking cellular lipid uptake, storage and handling to treatment outcomes of statin therapy and residual cardiovascular risk.

Out now! We established a platform for functional characterization of gene variants, providing insight for 315 LDLR variants. Functional data improves cardiovascular risk assessment, going beyond "pathogenic" and "benign" groups. Important for #FH

Great attendance to the session on genetic contributions to cancer risk at @eshgsociety
Going on right now!!!

Very happy to chair this session together with @MaxTamlander

Thanks to the presenters for very good talks and the audience for excellent discussion.

What is the cardiovascular significance of adipose tissue surrounding the heart? Our study, published in @JAMACardio today, asked this question: https://t.co/Zkn1tmUkVP.

In our latest paper @JCO_ASCO, we demonstrate how inherited factors perform for risk assessment in real-life breast cancer screening data. A special focus is on a breast cancer polygenic risk score (PRS), which is a more recently identified inherited risk factor.

🙍🏽‍♀️ 117,252 women in @FinnGen_FI
☢️693,730 breast cancer screenings from the nationwide Mass Screening Registry within @CancerRegFi

How do inherited factors summarized in polygenic risk scores (PRS) impact the risk of colorectal cancer?
Our work now published @BrJCancer

Our study highlights opportunities for risk-based colorectal cancer screening arising from polygenic risk scores for colorectal cancer.

We are grateful for @FinnGen_FI, the biobanks and participants who have donated samples for making our work possible.

Hereditary risk of colorectal cancer should be assessed in a more comprehensive way, shows a study led by @FIMM_UH researchers. Using comprehensive genetic information, the age and frequency of screening could be tailored based on individual risk.

Perinnöllistä suolistosyöpäriskiä tulisi arvioida nykyistä kokonaisvaltaisemmin, uusi suomalaistutkimus osoittaa. Kattavaa geenitietoa hyödyntämällä seulontojen aloitusikää ja tiheyttä voitaisiin räätälöidä yksilöllisen riskin mukaan.

Out on @medrxivpreprint! We set-up an analysis platform and characterized >300 low-density lipoprotein receptor gene variants. Hope this will help in diagnosis of #FH and shed light on the genetic complexity of #hypercholesterolaemia @HelsinkiUniMed
