DEADLY CAR WASH ACCIDENT: Officers found the man stuck between equipment and his car, police said. trib.al/yiYZFP6

Many assume all patients with high-risk DNA mutations — such as familial hyperchol mutations for heart attack — will develop disease 
But some remain healthy ‘Polygenic background’ one important reason why Press release: bit.ly/2EkAqDI Paper: go.nature.com/3hePocV

On the day that the United States reached the 100,000 death toll by @JHUSystems: All in < 90 days. (February 28th was the 1st) The country stands alone in the world —not just on this graph of loss of American lives—but also as the only country with no plan.

MyGeneRank servers are currently down as we are implementing some new security updates. Will be back online shortly.

It's not just the loss of lives. It's the average 10-11 years that each of those dying have lost. "The study shows ... people killed by #COVID19 had only slightly higher rates of underlying illness than everyone else their age." economist.com/graphic-detail… @ECONdailycharts

Nice highlight of our @MyGeneRank collaboration with @myDNAfeed to bring genetic counseling to polygenic risk prediction. This is the model to scale reactive genetic testing to proactive population screening. genomeweb.com/informatics/dn…

New updates to the app brings the following to @android and iOS: - Updated polygenic risk score - Improved UI / UX - Spanish language option - Added option for genetic counseling

Android version now available! play.google.com/store/apps/det…

@wwinter86 Sent you a DM

@MyGeneRank When I click Import from 23andMe it says Network Error :(

Yesterday was #WorldHeartDay so it’s just as good a time as any to find out your genetic risk for heart disease using the @MyGeneRank app #heartdisease #genetictesting #polygenicriskscore

#AI identifies genes linked to heart failure eurekalert.org/e/9h45 ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI… "The genetic risk scores established from this study could be tested in future studies to create an integrated and personalised risk assessment tool for heart failure."

@JohnsHopkinsSPH Impressive paper on genomics of common medical conditions: "For most complex traits, the genes & loci with the most critical biological effects often differ from those with the strongest common-variant associations" cell.com/ajhg/fulltext/… @AJHGNews by @Luke0connor & colleagues

"We show that polygenic risk scores have substantial potential for risk stratification for relatively common cancers such as breast, prostate and colon." biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Analysis of common genomic variants for 14 types of #cancer, by Yan Zhang @JohnsHopkinsSPH et al

@NathanWineinger I suspect @daxshepard would be interested in this

Interesting new partnership between Kroger and Myriad Genetics businessinsider.com/kroger-brings-… via @businessinsider

@Parents_Bridge Yes, coming soon! Stay tuned here...

@Mentalisto The Android version is coming soon, we will announce via Twitter when it is ready.

@MyGeneRank I learned about your application from Dr. Topol. Are there any plans for Android users? My children are paying for a 23andMe test. Can I manually upload my results?

@DenizKonac It is coming soon, we will announce here when the app is Android ready.

Why it is so hard to predict complex diseases and traits from DNA? Here is a collection of my go-to slides, a short story about the predictive ability of polygenic risk scores (PRS).
