The last chapter of my thesis on genetic risk factors for developing multiple primary tumors is now on @medrxivpreprint! Through #WES data from @uk_biobank and @KPDOR, we identify potential pleiotropic variation in individuals with multiple cancers. @johnwitte @LoriSakoda

New @WitteLab paper on cfDNA in prostate cancer by @emmalyn_chen, @johnwitte, @felixfengmd. While cfDNA concentration predicts mets, it has limited diagnostic ability for localized dx. But fragment size may distinguish localized dx. rdcu.be/cgdyB. @UCSF_Epibiostat

Exciting findings from @WitteLab collaboration with @KPDOR led by @RebeccaEGraff shows cross-phenotype PRS effects may enable a more integrated model of cancer risk prediction, and inform new strategies toward reducing the burden of cancer. @LoriSakoda @johnwitte @taylorbcavazos

Taylor Cavazos@taylorbcavazos

Thrilled to have my 1st PhD paper published at @HGGAdvances! Here, we provide further evidence to support the push towards inclusivity in GWAS showing variants identified in diverse populations may be necessary to achieve equality in PRS prediction. tinyurl.com/yyhzqoom
