Highly recommend two #ASHG21 poster talks by talented grad students today! The first is "Polygenic score from a large GWAS predicts cases of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction but not preserved ejection fraction" by Kuan-Han Wu of @LabWiller.

Very pleased to have a chapter of my dissertation with @cristenw out in the world as a pre-print. What started as a rotation project evaluating the use of family history in GWAS led to some interesting observations about family history in @theHUNTstudy.

Join us on Tuesday when @cristenw and @RajaniAatre will discuss a really important topic - what do we do when we find actionable genetic variants in biobank participants? Hear about their recent experience and views on this dilemma.

Super excited to have @cristenw speak to us at @CPMOxford about this awesome work with Rajani Aatre:
"What we learned about returning research genetic results to patients in aortic clinic:A conversation with a Genomic Scientist and a Clinical Genetic Counsellor."

Back in March, @cristenw shared an incredible story about a >5yr effort to disclose actionable genetic variants to biobank participants. We are delighted to have Cristen and Rajani Aatre join us to talk about this work and what they learnt! Sign up: cpm.well.ox.ac.uk/content/events

Our latest publication is online! Together with colleagues from @umichCVC and the Genetic Counseling team at U of M, we describe the disclosure of thoracic aortic dissection pathogenic variants to biobank participants. @cristenw
