Desert-Dwelling Turkana Evolved Genes for Dehydration Survival

Genetic analysis shows Turkana people carry STC1 variants that boost kidney water re‑absorption, spreading 5,000‑8,000 years ago and linked to a 5% higher childbearing rate. Read more: getnews.me/desert-dwelling-turkana-... #turkana #stc1

GTEx Portal The Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project is an ongoing effort to build a comprehensive public resource to study tissue-specific gene expression and regulation. Samples were collected from 53 non-...

But now, very happy to see it in its final form. Doing this work has revealed me many aspects of population genetics. Surely, what I learned was much more than what we discovered... but the #STC1 - #thyroid interaction story is fascinating

Systematic mediation and interaction analyses of kidney function genetic loci in a general population study Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a complex disease affecting >10% of the global population, with large between- and within-continent variability reflecting major environmental determinants. To identify...

🆕 Systematic mediation & interaction analyses of kidney function genetic loci in a general population study. Finally out @dariushghasemi.bsky.social work on the value of a single population study to assess loci from global #GWAS consortia 👏
