Congratulations Guillermo Montalban-Bravo ! Fantastic work #CMML

Today, RGC has published an important paper in nature today, describing an analysis of close to a million human exomes (n=983,578) as a single variant call set (!). This is the largest and most diverse rare variant database created so far. This impressive feat is accomplished by

A very special day for all of us at ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group as we embark upon the official “clonal hematopoiesis working group”journey, led by two of the most thoughtful, intelligent and generous leaders in our field Mrinal Patnaik Ross Levine
The room was packed!!!
We’re excited to get to

Cross-ancestry GWAS of serum urate levels in >1 million individuals. The SNP-based heritability of serum urate in Europeans is 8.7% (East Asians - 11.9%) of which, impressively, ~96% (East Asians - 71%) can be now explained by genome-wide significant SNPs. At least in Europeans,

I absolutely love examples of human genetics informing drug adverse effects. A fascinating new example I learned today, thanks to Ben Williams for pointing to me.

Many would be familiar with the immune checkpoint inhibitors used in the treatment of many cancers

Mosaic loss of Y chromosome is more frequent in the 'the European American (EA) ancestry group compared to those of Hispanic American (HA), African American (AA), and East Asian (EAS) ancestry.' based on analysis of ~25k TOPMed genomes.

Genetic variation is relatively poorly studied in the Middle East, particularly where endogamy and consanguinity are more common. Among 6K WGS in Qatar, 2 in 3 (!) was a carrier for a pathogenic mutation for an autosomal recessive condition. link.springer.com/article/10.118…

Would you believe me if I told you that a single variant in a non-coding RNA explains ~0.5% of all undiagnosed individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) in Genomics England ???

I didn’t initially either, but here is the story of RNU4-2 🧵1/9
