New paper out! #Genetic differences may influence the risk of infection with the highly transmissible #Omicron variant, and the patterns differ from earlier coronavirus variants. 🧬

Central role of glycosylation processes in human genetic susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infections with Omicron variants - Nature Genetics
Genome-wide analyses identify 13 loci associated with susceptibility to infection with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants, including variation in ST6GAL1, previously associated with influenza susceptibility,...

📣 🧬🦠 New article out on genetic susceptibility to infection with Omicron variants of SARS-CoV-2. In this international GWAS meta-analysis, we identified loci not found for earlier variants of the virus. The findings point to a central role of glycosylation.

Genome-wide association study of long COVID - Nature Genetics
A genome-wide study by the Long COVID Host Genetics Initiative identifies an association between the FOXP4 locus and long COVID, implicating altered lung function in its pathophysiology.

I didn't have much hope that we'd find genetic determinants of long-COVID, but after years of work, Vilma Aho, Tomoko Nakanisha, Hugo Zeberg and Hanna Ollila made it happen! (Among a few others :-))

Excited about the defense tomorrow. Tommi Strausz on sleep bruxism
HLL Tommi Strausz from Hanna Ollila's group will defend his doctoral thesis "Sleep bruxism aspects of awareness, epidemiology and genetics" @helsinki.fi on 11 April at 13:00. Prof. Timo Närhi, University of Turku, will serve as the opponent. Welcome!

Finally online - sharing our findings that #Lyme disease bacteria can live in female reproductive organs for over a year and increase risk for gynecological disease!!! We found this increased risk in mice and humans! 😱 (thread below)
