Phenomenal news this morning. The Gottesman family generously funded me and my Center for Epigenomics at @EinsteinMed, I have appreciated their generosity for some time. But this is extraordinary. The impact will be immense. nytimes.com/2024/02/26/nyr…
Great news
Do you want otherwise well-adjusted bioinformaticians turning into unhinged supervillains? Because this is how you get it!

PSA, since I've now seen problems arising from this: As of Sept 2023, GATK no longer makes missing genotypes explicit in VCFs (i.e. "./." as in the VCF spec). Missing genotypes are instead coded as "0/0" with a DP=0 format field. See attached for examples.
Great podcast talking about genetics in drug discovery, featuring Matt Nelson. “Scale matters in the genetics of complex disease. With very few exceptions, there is no alternative to scale.” podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…
We have a new preprint out! This work shows the protective effects of LoFs in MAP3K15 in Type II diabetes risk (even on high risk PRS backgrounds), and importantly the "genetics driven recruitment" capabilities of the @23andMe database. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
A new preprint from The 23andMe Research Team showcasing our capabilities in recall-by-genotype initiatives. Here we use recall-by-genotype to facilitate enhanced phenotyping in order to characterise a LoF variant in MAP3K15 associated with T2D medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
We are pleased to share our paper, new in @ScienceMagazine, on the scale, impact, and mechanisms underlying mutations arising in meiosis. Thanks to the team, collaborators, and colleagues! (1/2) science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Hey #ASHG23 attendees! If you are interested in talking about my study of 18-19th century African Americans from Catoctin Furnace or about ways to apply our new IBD approach to other historical datasets come find me at my poster (PB3122) on Friday from 3-5pm. @23andMeResearch

A preprint from our team showing that PRS can be used to identifying individuals with undiagnosed disease
Our latest preprint - PRS can predict 1-yr incidence for 12 diseases in multiple ancestries (study of 8.5M individuals) medrxiv.org/content/10.110… PRS add information to conventional risk factors, and favorable lifestyle linked to lower risk in high-PRS group
Genetic Analysis and Natural History of Parkinson's Disease Due to the LRRK2 G2019S Variant medrxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #medRxiv
In ~8M people, those in the top 10% PRS had higher 1-year disease incidence and earlier age of onset. But lifestyle factors markedly lowered disease incidence in those with high polygenic risk. There's a lot we can do to mitigate genetic disease risk. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

In the context of previous posts, wondering why the community is still using "Mendelian Randomization" despite it being such a misnomer. It's not using Mendelian segregation randomness, and it's susceptible to confounding by population structure just like any GWAS.
