📣 New preprint 🧵: we profiled post-mortem human BA22 (speech cortex) in autism across 100 donors using single-nucleus multiomics (~500,000 nuclei), integrating RNA + chromatin accessibility. Shout-out to my co-first authors Varun Suresh and Yuhan Hao: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy may reduce the risk of preeclampsia Read more

A booster dose of COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy was associated with a 33% reduction in preeclampsia risk, according to a new Oxford-led multinational study.

Findings from 18 countries. Published in @eClinicalMed.

Identification of Novel Reproducible Combinatorial Genetic Risk Factors for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis in the DecodeME Patient Cohort and Commonalities with Long COVID Background: Myalgic encephalomyelitis (also known as ME/CFS or simply ME) has severely impacted the lives of tens of millions of people globally, but the disease currently has no accurate diagnostic t...

Delighted how @precisionlife.bsky.social and @actionforme.bsky.social et al used consented @decodemestudy.bsky.social data to
-replicate #MEcfs genetic signal &
-show its shared/distinct genetics with Long Covid.
Next: replicate ME/CFS subtypes w/ targeted therapies

Rare variant associations with birth weight identify genes involved in adipose tissue regulation, placental function and insulin-like growth factor signalling - Nature Communications An exome-wide association study for fetal and maternal rare deleterious variants affecting the normal variation in birth weight identifies nine genes involved in adipose tissue regulation, placental f...

So happy to see this published in NatComms! tinyurl.com/yc66amvu Rare variant assocs with birth weight identify 9 genes. Insights into links between earlygrowth & later metabolic health. Great collabs between teams Exe&Camb. Amazing resources of UKB & deCODE made it possible.
