Great preview from @SanchoShimizu on the challenge of VUS in inborn errors of immunity and in general. AND on the fact that IEIs are likely more common than thought in general pop. cell.com/cell/fulltext/… in @CellPressNews

In this 6-min video, I show how to use iDEP to interpret bulk RNA-seq data. Start with QC plots and exploratory analyses before identifying differentially regulated genes and pathways. Here, we picked up on high mitochondrial rRNA counts, one male sample mixed in with seven…

We published on the feasibility of panel-based PGx testing from @MayoClinicCIM grant in 2017. ✔️Quick cheek swab/mail-out. 🧪 ✔️3-5 days turnaround.⏱️ ✔️Cost effective. Cheaper to do 29 genes than ordering one gene.🤯 ✔️Oncology➕Supportive care🧬 🔗journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/15…

The prognosis of liver disease depends on the extent of fibrosis, which is usually staged with the use of liver biopsy. The limitations of biopsy have led to the development of noninvasive tests, which Drs. Laurent Castera, Mary E. Rinella, and Emmanuel A. Tsochatzis review.…

New in @MolecularCell! We discovered how mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) controls purine synthesis—and it's not what you'd expect. SDH loss → succinate buildup → SHMT2 succinylation → blocked one-carbon flow → no purines 🧬

Excited to share our latest work out today in @MolecularCell, revealing a molecular link between succinate dehydrogenase and purine synthesis, connecting two fundamental metabolic pathways. Congratulations to first author @MushtaqNengroo! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

One of the main goals of our review article in @NEJM on MGUS was to provide clear clarifications on the concept of “monoclonal gammopathy of clinical significance” (MGCS). It’s all very confusing in the literature and can cause problems for patients if we are not totally clear of…
