Congratulations to #LanieMullins, PhD student @VCU_VIPBG, on receiving the Rising Star Award at #BGA2025 🎉 Her poster using #UKBiobank data linked immune system markers (MLR/NLR) to depression, with NLR emerging as a stronger predictor in older adults.
🚨 New paper out! In a collaboration across MVP, FinnGen & UK Biobank, we conducted a phenome-wide study of sex chromosome trisomies (SCT) in 1.5M participants. Findings reveal shared disease risks across SCT. 🔗 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
🚨 Big News! Our lab has officially moved from X to Bluesky! 🌿💙 If you're on Bluesky, let’s stay connected—follow us at bsky.app/profile/popgem…, and we'll follow back!
🚨New paper alert!🚨 Using triangulated evidence, @Kirsten_v_H, @jmvink73 & team (@zoereed23, @Madhur_B_Singh, @hannah_sallis, @MarcusMunafo) find no bidirectional causal links between diet/physical activity & depression/anxiety. 🔬❌ 📖 Read more: doi.org/10.1017/S00332…
🚨 New paper in HGG Advances! 🚨 We evaluate imputation panel performance in 1,814 Pakistani individuals, highlighting the need for expanded reference panels in genetic research. Read more: cell.com/hgg-advances/f… @JiayiXu64425510 @arsalanhasan3 @PetersonRoseann @timbigdeli #GWAS
