Honored to have presented our work today at Pac Sym Biocomputing! Thanks to my mentors for this awesome opportunity!

This session, organized by ASMB, will focus on six #chronicdisorders that disproportionately afflict communities of color and discuss a unifying approach to personalized #treatments. See the full #Pathobiology2024 program bit.ly/4azEiLG #ASIPmeeting #ASIP2024

Enid Neptune, an ASMB Council Member organized a wonderful session at American Society for Investigative Pathology’s conference #Pathobiology2024 titled “Dissecting Disease Disparities from Bench to Genome!” Thank you to all who attended, the organizers, and participants! #ASIP2024

Check out our new paper out today in Nature Medicine. G6PD deficiency alleles are associated with increased risk of diabetes complications and the increased risk is likely due to reliance on HbA1c to make treatment decisions for diabetes patients: lnkd.in/gZi7GYuH

So excited to see our new paper nature.com/articles/s4159… Nature Medicine! Work of many especially @JosephBreeyear led by Todd Edwards Ayush Giri VA Research. Excellent summary vimeo.com/962820478/770d… by Kindea Labs

A single SNP in ~10% of US African Ancestry individuals causes a systematic decrease in HbA1c and a dramatic under treatment of diabetes. In Nature Medicine led by Joseph Breeyear Jacklyn Hellwege Ayush Giri Todd Edwards Vanderbilt University Medical Center nature.com/articles/s4159…

Patients with G6PD deficiency need a HIGHER blood sugar to have the same A1c level as a patient without G6PD deficiency. This creates a systematic disparity in diabetic diagnosis and care of patients carrying this genetic variant.

We are excited to share our new preprint “Variance quantitative trait loci reveal gene-gene interactions which alter blood traits”! medrxiv.org/content/10.110…. Thread below 🧵 1/n

In case you missed Hannah M. Seagle poster, she will be giving a talk on Friday #ASHG24 too! Todd Edwards Marijana Vujković

I am excited to share our new preprint “Genomics-Informed Drug Repurposing Strategy Identifies Novel Therapeutic Targets for Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease.” medrxiv.org/content/10.110…. 1/n

.AJHG sat with Colby Tubbs, PhD, in the latest "Inside AJHG" to discuss his recently published paper, “Identifying deleterious noncoding variation through gain and loss of CTCF binding activity” ➡️ ashg.org/ajhg/inside-aj… #ASHG #GeneticsDiscoveries #HumanGenetics

A multicenter study led by researchers at Vanderbilt Health has identified multiple new genes associated with benign tumors (fibroids) of the uterus, the leading indication for hysterectomy in the country. Jacklyn Hellwege Nature Communications news.vumc.org/2025/04/02/new…

Congratulations to our students for receiving Graduate Leadership Anchor Awards - Kevin Zhang (G2) won Best Overall and Jeewoo Kim (G3) won Best Mentorship!

Congratulations to the exceptional Jeewoo Kim (she/her)!

I am excited to share that our paper has been officially published in AJHG! authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S00…

.Michael Betti & co of AJHG latest article performed a comprehensive multi-ancestry genetic analysis of lung cancer, identifying four genomic regions linked to disease susceptibility and biological pathways relevant to cancer and lung function: cell.com/ajhg/abstract/… #ASHG

A recent Vanderbilt Health study of genetic and clinical data from 1.6 million people has identified 22 unique genes linked to keloids, raised scars growing beyond the original wound boundary that can cause pain and disfigurement. Jacklyn Hellwege Nature Communications news.vumc.org/2025/09/29/kel…
