- Reposted by Emilie WigdorWhy do some individuals defy their polygenic score? In the largest study of its kind (402k UKB individuals; 7 continuous traits + 3 diseases), we asked: If your phenotype deviates from common-variant polygenic score prediction, what's driving that difference? www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6...
- Reposted by Emilie WigdorNew paper on everyone’s favourite topic, QC! We show why you should do genotype-level QC on your WGS data www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Very real quotes about this paper - “The most exciting, mind-blowing paper of the year!” “On a par with Fisher 1918” “I read it every night. Just so beautiful”

- Reposted by Emilie WigdorOur gene discovery project on age at onset of walking is out today! Find the paper here www.nature.com/articles/s41... Huge thanks to the cohorts, collaborators & coauthors, in particular first author Dr Anna Gui 1/n
- Reposted by Emilie WigdorVery excited about this important piece of work with @angelicaronald.bsky.social characterising gene associations with age of walking onset. We also show using dHCP data that these are related to volume in key brain motor regions (like the deep grey nuclei and cerebellum) even as a newborn infant

- 📣 Big news! Our tag-team effort on common variants in rare neurodevelopmental conditions is now out in Nature 📣 Co-first authoring with the brilliant Qinqin Huang🌟—proof that teamwork does make the dream work. 💪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- This paper covers concepts that aren’t usually discussed in the context of rare (single-gene) conditions. We included EasyRead and lay summaries, as well as an FAQ—written with input from patients and families. Find them in Supplementary Note 1!
