Exciting news about the launch of our new study looking at genetic predictors of stem cell yield from healthy donors - well done on all your hard work @Rachel50911099 ⁦@AndrewMumford7⁩ ⁦@DrJEGriffin⁩ independent.co.uk/news/health/sc…

Well done @Val3Cipriani @SmedleyDamian and team - and thank you for involving us in this in this new analysis of 100KGP rare disease data. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thank you to all the attendees of the #EUPLAN2023 and @plateletsociety joint meeting for making this an amazing conference in Bristol. We look forward to the 2024 @plateletsociety meeting and then Würzburg @bender_lab for the 7th EUPLAN conference in 2025. @BristolPlatelet

@gushamilton INTERVAL? @lucygoudswaard might know

Has anyone got or know of a large (n>10,000) open dataset of BMI? I literally just need the distribution of BMI in as many people as possible! Ideally a reference population but anything will do.

Our paper examining the genetic regulators of platelet count in people of Bangladeshi ancestry has been published in RPTH today! Thanks to all involved, particularly the participants of the Genes and Health Study. @AndrewMumford7 @dvh13 @EastLondonGenes rpthjournal.org/retrieve/pii/S…

Delighted to report PIK3R3 as a new PLT locus revealed by GWAS of the @EastLondonGenes Bangladesh dataset performed by @KateBurley6 and excellent collaborators. Well done team! biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Glad to see our study exploring the effect of COVID-19 on platelet function as a preprint! Link: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/6

Very pleased to see our paper published in @plateletjournal today! We explored the effect of body mass index (BMI) on platelet traits using observational and Mendelian randomization frameworks tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… 1/3

Just archived our manuscript! We used Mendelian randomization to estimate the causal effect of body mass index (BMI) on platelet traits in INTERVAL study. Thanks to @HersIngeborg @nic_timpson @BristolPlatelet and other authors. medrxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/3
