Mapping the heritability of disease: a nationwide study @natcomms.nature.com

Mapping the heritability of disease: a nationwide study

Nature Communications, Published online: 17 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-69991-zUnderstanding genetic and environmental contributions requires large‑scale heritability data. Here, the authors analyse more than 10 million Danish health records, estimating heritability for 1,000+ diseases and revealing trait‑specific differences between family‑based and SNP‑based estimates.

I’m always happy to discuss the pros and cons of academic/neuroscience life in Denmark. Like any small European country there are some hurdles but it is overall an excellent place to be. We’re happy here.

Kort før jul lavede regeringen sammen med SF, LA, Danmarksdemokraterne og Konservative nogle småjusteringer af den dumme, dyre og dybt skadelige kandidatreform. Det er dog som et plaster på et åbent benbrud. Det skriver jeg om i @Altingetdk #dkpol www.altinget.dk/forskning/ar...

De politiske småjusteringer løser ikke kandidatreformens kerneproblemer

På trods af de politiske småjusteringer af kandidatreformen, kommer den fortsat til at gøre stor skade i uddannelses- og forskningsmiljøer, skriver Stinus Lindgreen.
