Researchers from RCSI and @CHI_Ireland write in @JAMANetworkOpen on how the COVID-19 pandemic shaped infant development. They reflect on new evidence showing complex effects of social restrictions, parenting and protective factors. ➡️ jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman… #RSCIdiscover

🎉Thrilled to officially launch @Neuroadapt_RCSI today! This €2M programme, co-funded by the EU’s MSCA & FutureNeuro, will train 11 postdocs in cutting-edge neuroscience—from gene therapy to precision medicine— all to improve patient care. Find out more: futureneurocentre.ie/neuroadapt/

Come join us in @CHI_Ireland. Exciting expansion of the paediatric neurology department, to ensure we continue to develop & deliver the best care to children in Ireland. @jobswithCHI @orourked2 @evaforman4 #pediatricneurology #newjobs #epilepsy rezoomo.com/job/72185/?Con…

📢New paper out in @ejhg_journal! 🔬An innovative genetic analysis by @SJDbarcelona_es and CNAG has successfully diagnosed 23 children with neuromuscular diseases, some waited over 8 years for a diagnosis ➡️cnag.eu/news/innovativ…’s-hospital-and-cnag-successfully-diagnoses

⏳ There is still time to apply! Join the FutureNeuro team for an exciting #PhD opportunity advancing #Epilepsy care. Use health records, ML & digital twins to predict outcomes & personalise treatment. Apply by Nov 29 at: rcsi.com/dublin/researc… @NiBhradaigh @pharmacoepircsi

Polygenic basis of monogenic neurodevelopmental diseases. Identifying common variant contributions to a collection of heterogeneous rare neurodevelopmental conditions is interesting, but finding it difficult to appreciate the biological basis of this contribution. Fascinating work nevertheless. Huang, Wigdor, et al. Nature nature.com/articles/s4158…

REGISTRATION for VIBE-ICBG24 now OPEN ! Fantastic opportunity for early career researchers in genomics/bioinformatics/comp biology to present their work and connect with other PhD students and researchers in the field! Taking place on 5th and 6th Dec @uniofgalway !

I'm very excited to have our work on recessive developmental disorders published at @NatureGenet! See here for the tweetorial (x.com/kartikchundru/…). There were some exciting updates during the reviews which I'll highlight here... (1/n) sanger.ac.uk/news_item/most…

@kartikchundru @NatureGenet Congrats Karthik. Very helpful!

Thrilled to see so many of the @Futureneuro_ie team at #ISHG2024 yesterday! Special shout out to our brilliant poster presenters, including PhD student @idahry1 and summer intern Richard O'Conaill, who won best clinical poster for his work on CINDI! 👏🎉 @Solve_RD

A Sunday read for you. A new blog post on a discovery of a noncoding mutation that causes a Mendelian cardiac arrhythmia through a fascinating mechanism: de novo creation of cardiomyocyte-specific enhancer. This adds to the list of my favorite noncoding discoveries that I've highlighted over the past couple of years. Two take homes for me are - when searching noncoding disease variants, we tend to look at regions previously known to play a regulatory role (promoters, enhancers etc.). This work reminds us of the possibility that disease variants might be creating a new regulatory element themselves. - when searching for causal genes, we tend to look at only those that are expressed in the disease-relevant tissues. This work reminds us that causal genes can be the ones that are not expressed in disease-relevant tissues. Sometimes the answers come from places where we least expect to find. Congratulations to the authors on this beautiful work! gwasstories.com/p/de-novo-enha…

In our latest work, we explore the contribution of rare, typically inherited, damaging genetic variants to the risk of severe developmental disorders (DDs) and establish a major role for incompletely penetrant rare variation. Now out on medRxiv: medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
