Li Fraumeni Syndrome = increased #cancer risk

Now new #research led by our own Dr Cristina Fortuno & @AmandaSpurdle with Prof Paul James from @PeterMacCC could help detect & manage cancers earlier in people with the condition.

[Vaishnavi Nathan @vaish_1]

I could be biased but I think @AmandaSpurdle @QIMRBerghofer is the best at explaining #ACMG variant classification for genes like #BRCA1, and in a way that is understandable, digestible and fun @Genetics2023 #ICG2023

[Tracy O'Mara @DrTracyO]

I'm hiring! I have a 2-year funded #endometrial #cancer project for a postdoc with #organoid culture experience. Based in Brisbane with views like this, how can you say no? HMU if you have Qs about the role. Applications close 6th June https://t.co/e4UKipBK4s

[ASHG @GeneticsSociety]

In the latest edition of Inside @HGGAdvances, hear @daffodil_canson, PhD, discuss her paper, "Splicing annotation of endometrial cancer GWAS risk loci reveals potentially causal variants and supports a role for NF1 and SKAP1 as susceptibility genes": https://t.co/3WIp25UcnC

[ASHG @GeneticsSociety]

In a new @HGGAdvances article, researchers developed a prioritization workflow & identified potentially causal endometrial cancer GWAS risk variants with plausible biological mechanisms.

@chembotss Congrats, Chembs! 🎉

[Daffodil Canson @daffodil_canson]

Excited to share our new paper! Shout out to our research team at @QIMRBerghofer for making this happen, @Glubbster @DrTracyO @AmandaSpurdle 💯

[Human Genetics and Genomics Advances @HGGAdvances]

New! @daffodil_canson et al. develop a workflow to integrate splicing prediction analysis w/GWAS data. Their analysis of endometrial cancer identifies two candidate risk variants predicted to alter NF1 and SKAP1 splicing. #OA
