Professor @sarahfiner.bsky.social & Dr. @moneeza-ks.bsky.social joined @claudiahammond.bsky.social on #BBC World Service's Health Check! They discussed genetic drivers of early-onset type 2 diabetes in British South Asians & its impact on care. Listen: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Delighted to showcase @genesandhealth.bsky.social and the enormous work of teams across settings. In this piece we highlight its role in diabetes & metabolism research. authors.elsevier.com/a/1kAgM3jDgW... @qmulfmd.bsky.social @sarahfiner.bsky.social #SouthAsianHealth #PrecisionMedicine

Thanks so much for highlighting our work @doctorveera.bsky.social. And as always, your ability to distill key findings with such clarity 🧬🖥️

Genetic basis of early onset and progression of type 2 diabetes in South Asians

Nature Medicine - In a cohort of 50,556 South Asian individuals, partitioned polygenic scores helped identify genetic susceptibility to insulin deficiency and unfavorable fat distribution as key...

Ok, folks, bear with us - this is the first video we're posting to BlueSky so the format may not be quite right... but it's Professor Sarah Finer and Dr Moneeza Siddiqui discussing their findings, so it's worth it!

Genes&Health, @samcbhodgson.bsky.social @sarahfiner.bsky.social & I are very pleased to share the 1st study using partitioned polygenic scores to understand age of T2D onset, GDM, lean T2D &💊response. All this in a south Asian cohort –typically under-represented in 🧬 research @qmul.bsky.social
