A large dataset we hope is helpful for patients who may have CAPS, an #autoinflammatory condition associated with genetic variants in NLRP3. Lots of "variants of uncertain significance" now have a specific readout from our in vitro assay which can help with clinical diagnosis.

What Happens When Some Cells Are More Dad Than Mom (and Vice Versa)?
Latest from us. Published today. News here www.cuimc.columbia.edu/news/what-ha... article here: www.nature.com/articles/s41... @stewart_ojay @BogunovicLab and a huge international team thank you 🙏🏼
What Happens When Some Cells Are More Dad Than Mom (and Vice Versa)?
A new study shows that some of our cells favor genes of one parent or the other and can explain a longstanding mystery of why some people with disease-causing genes experience no symptoms.
