Excited to share our Canada-wide study in Pediatric Blood & Cancer identifying genetic markers predicting severe hypersensitivity reactions to a vital drug in pediatric leukemia—moving closer to safer, personalized treatments. Let’s connect! #PrecisionMedicine #Pharmacogenomics #PediatricCancer
Amino Acid Stress Response Genes Contribute to a 25‐Fold Increased Risk of L‐Asparaginase–Induced Hypersensitivity
Background L-asparaginase is essential in treating pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) but is limited by hypersensitivity reactions in up to 70% of patients, leading to severe, dose-limitin...

I built an AI Agent called “2nd Reviewer” to automate systematic reviews.

Check it out and let me know what you think!

Continuation of asparaginase is crucial for survival in pediatric ALL, yet allergies and pancreatitis often lead to its discontinuation. This study highlights the impact on outcomes and underscores the importance of strategies to maintain treatment: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Hey Bluesky! I’m Spenny, a PhD in Medical Genetics where my research focuses on the use of genomic profiles to earlier predict adverse drug outcomes in paediatric cancer patients🧬⚡️

Looking forward to building a great scientific community here - let’s connect! 🚀
