🚨 Delighted to share a new preprint: Mapping the aetiological foundations of the heart failure spectrum using human genetics medrxiv.org/content/10.110… A massive collaboration from the HERMES Consortium Consortium, coordinated by Tom Lumbers 🧵A thread on 10 highlights:

Thank you Albert Henry for delightfully presenting our work on DCM genomics at #AHA2023 and thank you AHA Science for recognising it with the Paul Dudley Award! James Ware Tom Lumbers HERMES Consortium

Great talk by Sean Zheng presenting our DCM GWAS at the #ESCCongress2024 Young Investigator Award Session in Population Science, Genetics, and Epidemiology! No need to squint your eyes to see the slide as we have a preprint available on: medrxiv.org/content/10.110… (ms in press)
