Incredibly proud to see our latest work out in Nature Genetics: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Here we share our FLAMES framework, which predicts the effector genes in GWAS loci with state-of-the-art precision🔥

Special thanks to @daniposthu.bsky.social

A full thread describing findings below!
Prioritizing effector genes at trait-associated loci using multimodal evidence
Nature Genetics - FLAMES is a machine learning approach combining variant fine-mapping, SNP-to-gene annotations and convergence-based gene prioritization scores to identify candidate effector genes...

New study from the @pgcgenetics.bsky.social:

Multi-ancestry GWAS of MDD in over half a million cases and 4 million controls.

Trans-ancestry genome-wide study of depression identifies 697 associations implicating cell types and pharmacotherapies
Trans-ancestry GWAS of major depression identifies 697 genetic variants and 308 genes, implicating neural and molecular mechanisms and drug repurposing opportunities.

Happy to see this finally online: we investigated the genetic association signal of Borderline Personality Disorder in a GWAS meta-analysis with >12,000 cases. We identified 6 risk loci, and investigated shared genetic risk using genetic correlations and PheWAS

Genome-wide association study of borderline personality disorder identifies six loci and highlights shared risk with mental and somatic disorders
Environmental and genetic risk factors contribute to the development of borderline personality disorder (BPD). We conducted the largest GWAS of BPD to date, meta-analyzing data from 12,339 cases and 1...
