Project MinE

Groundbreaking genetic research for #ALS #MND by patients for patients. Mining your human DNA and ultimately find a cure!

[Project MinE @_Makeityours]

Worldwide #ALS/ #MND foundations & researchers work together to understand the genetic basis of ALS & find a cure https://t.co/xOXvcICnww

This morning over 50 researchers met online for the latest research updates, during a #ProjectMine science meeting! Knowledge on these new findings help to further accelerate research to understand the #genetic basis of #ALS

[Project MinE @_Makeityours]

Researchers from #ProjectMinE have identified 15 genetic risk profiles for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) This leads to important new insights regarding #ALS. Read all about it on our website https://t.co/ysIw6iHue9

Honoured to receive the #HealeyCenterAward today at the @mndassoc symp! Started in 2014 by ALS patients, MinE is now the largest single disease whole genome sequencing project in the world. A big thanks to everyone that made this possible #MakeItYours

Research updates shared between more than 40 researchers in online #ProjectMinE Science meeting today. Updates on new findings help to further accelerate research to understand the genetic basis of #ALS

We are saddened to hear of the passing of Pat Quin. As co-founder of the #IceBucketChallenge his inspiration helped to kickstart #ProjectMinE to obtain the first whole genomes. Since them Project MinE has contributed to the discovery of several ALS-genes

Pat Quinn, who helped raise $220 million to fight ALS by promoting the Ice Bucket Challenge in 2014, died on Sunday. He was 37. https://t.co/r6eq3ayVLH

To understand the genetic basis of #ALS and to ultimately find a cure for this devastating, fatal neuromuscular disease, Project MinE aims to analyse the DNA of at least 15,000 ALS patients and 7,500 controls. https://t.co/W4Rui3G1q3

[Project MinE @_Makeityours]

We are a collaboration of researchers & associations in 20 countries. Together we are speeding up ALS research! ALS centres around the globe are welcome to join #projectMinE https://t.co/2iG6FaeMh9

[Project MinE @_Makeityours]

Two recent @NEJM studies on genomic therapies for #ALS patients show that genetic discoveries can directly lead to the development of genomic therapies for ALS patients. This reinforces the relevance of #ProjectMinE to patients with ALS. https://t.co/UpvuO6eDrU

More than 200.000 people worldwide are living with ALS. Project MinE is a large-scale research initiative devoted to discovering the genetic cause of ALS. The goal is to identify genes that are associated with ALS. Make a donation or start a campaign today https://t.co/EPLgu96HbK

A new breakthrough from Project MinE! We show that a ‘repeat expansion’– an abnormal repetition of a stretch of DNA – in the ATXN1 gene increases the chance of developing ALS. Our findings are published in @braincomms. Read more about our results here: https://t.co/8UZxtKMkRD

[@BrainComms @braincomms]

Tazelaar et al. show an association between intermediate ATXN1 repeat expansions and ALS, possibly via mislocalization of TDP-43, emphasizing the role of polyglutamine expansions in the pathophysiology of ALS https://t.co/NYYC2FbQE4 @_Makeityours @LeonardvandBerg @AmmarAlChalabi

[Project MinE @_Makeityours]

More and more countries join this groundbreaking genetic ALS research. So far, we collected 10.605 DNA profiles! https://t.co/nG7WWO1ODr

[Project MinE @_Makeityours]

Such large-scale genetic research into the origins of #ALS is unprecedented! As such, we are fully committed to making a revolutionary breakthrough in the search for the cause of #ALS. But, to reach our goals, we need your help. https://t.co/xOXvcIkM7W

Make a donation today! 100 percent of all donations to Project Mine will go directly towards the mapping and analysis of DNA profiles. https://t.co/W4Rui3XChB

[Project MinE @_Makeityours]

Our DNA sequence contains a complex genetic code. Determining which DNA variants relate to #ALS is very challenging. Project MinE researchers all around the globe are collaborating to overcome this challenge. https://t.co/fpDFLlatMW
