@doctorveera @Nature I'm glad to have this as my morning read!

[Qin Wang @QinFinn]

@doctorveera Interesting, given the large impact of hormonal contraceptives, how would be the impact of pregnancy?

[Michael V Holmes (he/him) @mvholmes]

Really great to see our MR study of the causes and consequences of atrial fibrillation published in @IntJEpidemiol

Work that was superbly led by @QinFinn and with a fab collaboration including @iTomRichardson @ECSanderson @mak_sysepi & @mendel_random

We have a new preprint online comparing metabolomic signatures of lipid-modifying drug targets using human genetics 🧐 Thanks so much as always to brilliant colleagues @QinFinn @joshuaa_bell @elswob @mendel_random @mvholmes 🥳🥳🥳https://t.co/kLF9bHMmFK

Circulating Apo B decreases life expectancy (mainly thru cardiovascular disease), suggests multivariable Mendelian randomization study by proxy, by @iTomRichardson @mvholmes @QinFinn @ECSanderson @mak_sysepi Allan Sniderman @timfrayling @markmccarthyoxf https://t.co/onfJiw1cc6

This https://t.co/6guPA99nen came out just before Xmas and I am thinking that now, when you (and me) might be a little bit more triglyceride-rich, it might reach your reading list better... 😉 Many thx for gr8 collaboration @QinFinn @mvholmes @aidanbutty and many others!

[Prof M Ala-Korpela @mak_sysepi]

You know, 3 is not 4 - and here is some more https://t.co/WeBcCMaiDq - just out 🧐 gr8 collaboration with @QinFinn @mvholmes @aidanbutty @olraita @johanneskettune and others

[george davey smith @mendel_random]

200 pages of Mendelian randomization @IJEeditorial latest issue. Methods, applications, commentaries and reviews https://t.co/U6CaJ3xlTR

[Michael V Holmes (he/him) @mvholmes]

Really excited and looking forward to giving the inaugural Stonier Lecture at next week's @FacultyPharmMed Annual Symposium 2020.

Major thanks to colleagues - this paper demonstrates what can be achieved through multidisciplinary scientific collaborations

Yet another stormer from @iTomRichardson @mvholmes @mak_sysepi @timfrayling @markmccarthyoxf et al - proxy Mendelian randomization with first degree relative genotypes

[Tom Richardson @iTomRichardson]

We have a new preprint out estimating the effects of atherogenic lipid traits on longevity and 12 major disease endpoints using family history data 🥳🥳🥳 All star line up incl. @mvholmes @mendel_random @QinFinn @ECSanderson @mak_sysepi @timfrayling @markmccarthyoxf @anubha_M_Oxf

Our first study from the SCALLOP consortium is now out. The study investigated data from the @OlinkProteomics CVD-I panel in 30,931 individuals across 14 studies and found 451 loci for 85 plasma proteins: i.e. a really big proteomics-genetics study https://t.co/dDY1src2UX

[Qin Wang @QinFinn]

Our bi-directional MR analysis of over 10,000 traits and atrial fibrillation systematically identified causes and consequences of atrial fibrillation in a hypothesis-free approach. https://t.co/tDrHfWVfO4 @mvholmes @iTomRichardson @ECSanderson @mak_sysepi @mendel_random

There are so many heartbreaking stories, here and elsewhere, of elderly parents dying alone because their adult children not allowed to see them for fear of infection/spreading COVID19. Surely people should have the right to evaluate their risks & decide ..

[Prof M Ala-Korpela @mak_sysepi]

Insulin-resistant non-diabetic individuals are exposed to a similar adverse postprandial metabolic milieu, and analogous cardiometabolic risk, as those with type 2 diabetes. Results are largely explained by fasting insulin, but not fasting or 2 h glucose. (2/4)

[Michael V Holmes (he/him) @mvholmes]

Are you interested in the translational applications of human genetics 🧬 to disease?

If so, we're recruiting!

Come work for us at @Oxford_NDPH @UniofOxford exploring circulating proteins as potential therapeutic targets in cardiovascular disease.
