@houlstonlab-icr.bsky.socialHappy to share some new work done in collaboration with my colleagues in Human Genetics at Genentech! In it, we assess five model-based variant pathogenicity labels in the context of rare variant burden testing. [Summary ⬇️]. link.springer.com/article/10.1...
Show Post🧬 A GWAS of ~600,000 East Asian individuals shows that the genetic architecture of type 2 diabetes is shared with European ancestry individuals - yet population differences concentrate in specific pathways, underscoring the value of well-powered single-ancestry studies. doi.org/10.1038/s420...
