Hidden genetic risk could delay diabetes diagnosis for Black and Asian men A common but often undiagnosed genetic condition may be causing delays in type 2 diabetes diagnoses and increasing the risk of serious complications for thousands of Black and South Asian men in the U...

Excited to share our results showing that in the UK G6PD deficiency is common in Black and South Asian men. It is associated with 4yr delay in diabetes diagnosis and increased risk of complications. We need to do better!

Deleted the old app and tried to delete my profile but realised it was linked to old email and couldn’t remember the password 🙄. So it’s stays frozen in time, maybe one day when we come out of current dystopia…

It was a great session!!

Fantastic to be involved in this work that will change the care of most people with T2D. We are presenting this tomorrow at #DUKPC25 in Glasgow

Whole-genome sequencing analysis of anthropometric traits in 672,976 individuals reveals convergence between rare and common genetic associations Genetic association studies have mostly focussed on common variants from genotyping arrays or rare protein-coding variants from exome sequencing. Here, we used whole-genome sequence (WGS) data in 672,...

Really excited to share our next population-scale WGS work preprint. Here, we analyse three anthropometric traits in nearly 700,000 individuals (discovery UKB ~450K, replication AoU). We show, for these traits, that common and rare variant heritability is convergent
