Congratulations to #LanieMullins, PhD student #VCU_VIPBG, on receiving the Rising Star Award at #BGA2025 🎉 Her poster using #UKBiobank data linked immune system markers (MLR/NLR) to depression, with NLR emerging as a stronger predictor in older adults.

🚨 New paper out! In a collaboration across MVP, FinnGen & UK Biobank, we conducted a phenome-wide study of sex chromosome trisomies (SCT) in 1.5M participants. Findings reveal shared disease risks across SCT. 🔗 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
