Ein wichtiges Thema und eins, das alle angeht - vom unerkannten Herzinfarkt bei Frauen zur Unterversorgung psychischer Erkrankungen bei Männern, aber natürlich auch bei Hauterkrankungen bei nicht-Weißen und der Medikation von Kindern usw. - Medizin braucht Bewusstsein für Vielfalt!

Rechts daneben Überschrift "Epigenetik überraschend auf Pause" des im Post verlinkten Artikels, gefolgt von dessen Vorspann mit dem Text: "Bei der Essstörung Anorexia nervosa spielen bestimmte Gene eine große Rolle. Auch epigenetische Faktoren sollen beteiligt sein – doch neue Daten werfen Fragen auf."

Bei der Essstörung #Anorexia nervosa spielen bestimmte #Gene eine große Rolle. Auch epigenetische Faktoren sollen an der #Magersucht beteiligt sein. Allerdings werfen Daten von @ankehinney.bsky.social, Luisa Rajcsanyi et al. hier neue Fragen auf: www.laborjournal.de/editorials/3... #Epigenetik

Congrats, dear Joni and family 🥰

Twenty years of genome-wide association studies The first robust association between a genetic variant and disease risk.

This powerful and unbiased way to identify links between genetic variants and biological traits has changed scientists’ understanding of complex diseases and how to treat them

Mehr Ärztinnen als Ärzte: Wie Frauen Kliniken verändern An bayerischen Kliniken arbeiten mittlerweile mehr Ärztinnen als Ärzte. Verbandschefin Christiane Groß erklärt, warum davon alle Geschlechter profitieren – und welche Rolle die guten Schulnoten von Mädchen spielen.

How a cancer researcher lost a gender-related grant to Trump’s executive orders “Unethical, unlawful, inhumane”: NIH-backed scientist decries termination of study collecting data on sexual orientation and gender identity of cancer patients

The cancellation of the project for political reasons “is pretty alarming,” says cancer researcher Mandi Pratt-Chapman. scim.ag/4b7RZCx

‘Dark proteins’ hiding in our cells could hold clues to cancer and other diseases The human genome encodes potentially thousands of tiny proteins that were previously overlooked. The search is on to find out what they do.

"Screenshot of an article by Erica L. Green, titled 'Federal workers were given 10 days to report on attempts to ‘disguise’ D.E.I. programs.' The article discusses the Trump administration's directive to federal employees to report colleagues who defy orders to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, with warnings of 'adverse consequences' for non-compliance. Employees were given a 10-day deadline to report violations via email without facing disciplinary action."

This is effectively a snitch on women, people of color, and LGBTQ folks policy. White men can just baselessly accuse any minority of being DEI and get them fired. They created a permission structure to bring back segregation as a matter of policy by calling it anti DEI.

The #FDA website had to remove all information that ensures that
- #women,
- people of diverse #ethnic backgrounds,
- #lgbtq people,
- people with #disabilities,
- #socially-disadvantaged people
are adequately included in #clinical #trials so that new drugs and therapies work for everyone.

Genomics yields biological and phenotypic insights into bipolar disorder - Nature Using multi-ancestry genome-wide association study and fine-mapping, 298 loci and 36 credible genes are identified in the aetiology of bipolar disorder.

The PGC just published the largest multi-ancestry #GWAS of #BipolarDisorder, identifying 298 genetic regions linked to the condition. go.nature.com/3PJhi3W
