I kinda do genetics. Hope it's cool with you.

1/13 Our evaluation of the UK Biobank Polygenic Risk Score (PRS) Release (Version 2, May 2024) is now out in @plosone (https://t.co/TSXW4dvZJH), with @Genomicsplc @uk_biobank @genomicsEngland. The traditional tweetorial/Xorial follows…

@shooter90125 Too lazy to fix typo.

[Fernando Riveros-Mckay Aguilera @fa7gen]

@shooter90125 Read some reports, but there were neither clear nor descript

1/11 #medRxiv paper alert: “UK Biobank release and systematic evaluation of optimised polygenic risk scores for 53 diseases and quantitative traits” with @uk_biobank and @genomicsEngland https://t.co/fHC95ziZLc. The traditional tweetorial follows...

@shooter90125 This you?

Fun fact: QC for this dataset was basically a big chunk of my thesis. Very painful phenotype. Of course, this is a brief report so it only ended up being a sentence in methods.

[Fernando Riveros-Mckay Aguilera @fa7gen]

Very happy this is finally out. Fructosamine is quite an interesting glycaemic trait. Despite a strong phenotypic correlation with HbA1c, no evidence of genetic correlation. Coloc analysis suggests that some regulation is through pathways affecting albumin levels.

Happy to share another manuscript led by ECR and previous PhD student in my group @fa7gen ! It’s great to see this out!!

@ksamocha @DrGeneUK This is the distribution if the handfuls. Mean is clearly 6.23

@DrGeneUK 6.23

Mi hermana lleva más de 1 año buscando trabajo como #IngEnAlimentos. Ella se graduó en 2019 y con la pandemia y sin experiencia no ha encontrado nada aún. Si alguien sabe de algún trabajo, de preferencia en México, contáctenme. RTs también son de ayuda!

Our latest work builds upon the previous CAD work by A) assessing performance of our IRT in ASCVD (a tougher phenotype than CAD) and very importantly : B) validating performance on multiple ethnicities. Must-read thread by @mikeweale

[Mike Weale @mikeweale]

1/9 Hot on the heels of our CAD paper (https://t.co/82Z2PasgFe) comes our clinical validation across multiple ethnicities and ancestries of a new integrated risk tool for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) (shiny post-proof format: https://t.co/eYox8FsUi1).

1/9 Our paper on coronary artery disease (CAD) PRS utility graduated from medRxiv https://t.co/wKCuk94cet. Controversial topic with variable utility reported previously. See

@daniela_oaks It does kinda make sense to me : "como se llama esta variante aqui?" "Adenina"

I think not enough people are focusing on the part of the call where Trump goes full Sandler

If tonight's speech ends with "You're fired" I will never turn on my TV again knowing that I witnessed the peak of live television

@DrNenehS @BalaSardin Twitter comments gave me brain damage.

[Vincent @VincentPlagnol]

Just out, here is our take on the much debated topic of utility of PRS for cardiovascular disease prevention. Big improvement for middle-aged men, but classification improved across the board, with different types of improvement across age and sex.

Sharing another paper resulting from my happy stay with #teambarroso. Great collaboration with University of Cam (special shout out to @COliverWilliam1 and @aidanbutty)

[Inês Barroso @InesBarroso4]

Excited to share our latest article published in @plosgenetics: https://t.co/zN9eRdlNTx #plosgeneticsauthor led by a excellent ECR @fa7gen who I was fortunate to mentor!!
