Our project, looking at the genetic relationships between immune diseases and psychiatric disorders, has finally been published! Now with gene expression analyses as well as additional sensitivity analyses, thanks to reviewers. Find the full article here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Effects of parental autoimmune diseases on type 1 diabetes in offspring can be partially explained by HLA and non-HLA polymorphisms Leveraging Finnish nationwide multi-generational registers and the biobanks of FinnGen, Wang, Liu, et al. investigated the effect of parental autoimmune diseases on offspring T1D. Their creative and r...

Why do children with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) often have parents with autoimmune diseases?

Our new study shows parental autoimmune conditions affect offspring’s T1D risk through complex genetic factors, including both HLA and non-HLA variants.

This is really cool :) I'd love to be a beta tester

Prioritizing effector genes at trait-associated loci using multimodal evidence Nature Genetics - FLAMES is a machine learning approach combining variant fine-mapping, SNP-to-gene annotations and convergence-based gene prioritization scores to identify candidate effector genes...

Incredibly proud to see our latest work out in Nature Genetics: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Here we share our FLAMES framework, which predicts the effector genes in GWAS loci with state-of-the-art precision🔥

Congrats everyone!!!

Last work tweet of 2024 (maybe 😉): I, Ken Kendler, Brad Verhulst, @jorsmo.bsky.social and @andrewgrotzinger.bsky.social et al in the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium Cross Disorder Group (PGC-CDG) wrote a review on challenges studying cross disorder (psych) genetics: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
