Anyone working with population descriptors in legacy genomic data ✋ - check out this NIH virtual workshop May 28-29, genome.gov/event-calendar…

Genetic risk shouldn't be considered in isolation. Our work led by Buu Truong shows how clinical risk factors and a coronary artery disease polygenic risk score interact to optimally inform coronary artery disease risk. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Med by Cell Press

Our paper on PROSPER, a new multi-ancestry PRS method with penalized regression is out on Nature Communications ! Check here nature.com/articles/s4146…. Thanks to everyone offering help along the way!! Nilanjan Chatterjee Haoyu Zhang Jin Jin Jianan Zhan Ruzhang Zhao Cheng Ma and PRIMED Consortium

Our paper on MUSSEL, a method for developing ancestry-specific PRS, is finally out in
Cell Genomics
: cell.com/cell-genomics/…! Thank you for the > 3-year effort

Updated software: github.com/Jin93/MUSSEL Feel free to try it out!

📢 🎉 A total of 21 @PRSDiversity Consortium publications have contributed to the PGS Catalog, now linked from our publications page and detailed in a new report with information on traits and ancestry groups, primedconsortium.org/publications/p…

Excited to share our work by MGH IM Residents Roger Zou & with Aniruddh Patel examining CV polygenic risk scores derived in the general population among those living with HIV in REPRIEVE Trial on subclinical athero.
A CAD PRS associates w presence of any, severe, & high risk plaque.
