🚨 New paper 🚨 Do known genetic factors for obesity affect weight loss from GLP1-RA (Ozempic) or bariatric surgery? 🔍 10,960 people, 9 biobanks, 6 countries 🧬 Minimal genetic impact on GLP1-RA response 📉 Modest effect after surgery nature.com/articles/s4159…
Delighted to see our PGC MDD GWAS now published ⬇️ Thanks to all study participants, researchers, analysts who have contributed to this mammoth project
Large biobank resources are transforming epidemiological research🧑🤝🧑🧬🧪 Key elements: 👉large sample sizes 👉genetics 👉deep phenotyping with omics/imaging 👉longitudinal follow-up with access to EHR 👉global data access to researchers Great review📖: nature.com/articles/s4157…
Don't miss treatable disorders! Sequencing genes associated with treatable #InheritedMetabolicDiseases in Qatar Biobank sheds light on founder variants, carrier frequencies, and could inform newborn screening policies bit.ly/4dSbSNo @kfakhro @drHamdiMbarek @Geetha1902
From Canada to Qatar and Singapore, it is amazing to see how national initiatives are making a difference in the use and clinical implementation of #genomics
New research by @younesmokrab, @kfahro and colleagues @SidraMedicine provides novel insights into the burden of Mendelian Disorders in the Qatar Genome Program cohort. This study underlines the need for investigations into biobanks from globally under-represented ancestries.
رغم أننا متطابقون جينيًا بنسبة 99.9% 🧬، إلّا أن 0.1% فقط يجعلنا مختلفين عن بعضنا البعض. في هذه الحلقة من الصحة بِدقّة، نتعمق في استكشاف هذه الاختلافات في الجينوم البشري، ونناقش أهمية جمع البيانات الجينية لتضييق الفجوة الصحية العالمية. @QatarGenome @drHamdiMbarek
