People with schizophrenia are underrepresented in volunteer-based biobanks. A new UK Biobank study shows that those who do participate tend to have milder symptoms, lower polygenic risk scores, and lower rates of copy-number variants. https://t.co/LOMr3ksUeA

Schizophrenia is often misunderstood and highly complex. Learn about its prevalence and health impact in the WHO Fact Sheet 💡:

@MariosGeorgakis @NAKO_Studie In case anyone was wondering: genotypes are *planned* to be made available mid-2026... I just reached out to them about this.

Read this thread! Another example of how Europe is loosing competitiveness because of localism. thanks @MariosGeorgakis for sharing

Ein Team der #CharitéBerlin hat dutzend neue Genvarianten gefunden, die mit der seltenen Autoimmunerkrankung Myasthenia Gravis in Verbindung stehen und zur Entwicklung neuer Früherkennungsmethoden oder Arzneimittel beitragen können. Mehr über die Arbeit 👉https://t.co/KE5jLW3LS2

Tools that predict the causal genes in GWAS loci are too complex! Many use XGBoost models with >45 features (i.e. L2G, Ei).

CALDERA achieves better performance despite using LASSO regression and only 12 features. This makes it much easier to understand why a gene was chosen.

We took another shot at prioritizing genes responsible for schizophrenia through novel methods based on the latest @PGCgenetics GWAS.
I had a great time working on this project and am proud of what came out of it.
