There are few more engaging, creative and relentless clinician scientists than @stephenorahilly.bsky.social
I enjoyed his visit to @mcgilluniversity.bsky.social and learning how he unpicked GDF15 as a cause of morning sickness.

And Kevin Liang successfully defended his PhD examining the use of human genetics to identify drug targets!
Well done Dr. Kevin

An excellent visit from @mendelrandom.bsky.social in Montreal this week.
He wants to change Mendelian randomization to "meiotic randomization"—likely a much better name.
But what would we call @mendelrandom.bsky.social ?

Taken together, this provides evidence that increased endotrophin levels is one reason that people with obesity have more heart attacks.
This provides a target to help people with obesity reduce their risks of disease.

We identified that endotrophin was one such protein.
Using genetically-determined endotrophin levels we shows that endotrophin causes CHD.
To do so, we needed to use "protein domain-aware" methods since endotrophin is a cleaved protein from COL6A3.
