Our new paper, led by @renatopolimanti.bsky.social and I, and published today in Nature Genetics, is the largest multi-ancestry GWAS of endometriosis to date including 1.4 million women, 105,869 cases, six global ancestry groups. Previous studies were almost exclusively European.

Excited about our new preprint: 1st successful genome-wide study of >61,000 panic attack and 29,000 panic disorder cases. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... We find 17 associations & evidence that peripheral neurons in eye, lungs and heart are involved in panic & other psychiatric disorders 1/n

🧵Yesterday, I received notice that my #NIH grant, on the social environment, lifecourse, epigenetics & #birthoutcomes in Black families, was terminated. This grant represented a critical effort to address the ⬆️ rates of maternal & infant mortality in the US, particularly among Black mothers & babies
We literally have a Trump clone in power for almost 2 decades, the only thing people should learn from Hungary is to NEVER be like Hungary. Even after our PM resigns there's practically nothing left from the country as they destroyed all public services & privatized everything...
One (out of many) experience I think about often is with a Columbia professor at SOBP in 2022. He didn’t ask about my research, just “Where is lunch?”. When he learned I worked at Yale, he said I didn’t have a “Yale accent” and that he only knew where Hungary was because of the “many addicts”.

Women with endometriosis are more likely to experience childhood and adulthood traumas, independently of genetic predisposition. by Koller D, Løkhammer S (...) Polimanti R et 8 al. in JAMA Psychiatry #MedSky 📖 read the article:
Observational and Genetic Analyses of Traumatic Experiences and Endometriosis
This case-control study analyzes genotypic and phenotypic information from individual-level UK Biobank data, along with genome-wide information from a large meta-analysis and the FinnGen cohort, to determine the relationship between traumatic experiences and endometriosis.

I am from Hungary, I have seen this before. This is Orbán’s playbook on a larger scale. He has been in power for 15 years, and among many other things, his government has taken over academic institutions. Now science is in crisis, and researchers can’t receive EU funds. Terrifying times for the US.
🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.
So happy to see this article out now and have gotten to contribute to it! Please go give it a read!
I am so excited to share our new study published in @jama.com Psychiatry! Including >240,000 women (>8,000 patients with endometriosis), we found that patients reported more childhood and adulthood traumatic experiences. @renatopolimanti.bsky.social @lokhammer.bsky.social

New findings indicate a significant link between traumatic experiences and endometriosis, suggesting trauma may influence the disease's development independently of genetic predisposition. doi.org/g834rn
New evidence strengthens link between endometriosis and traumatic experiences
The University of Barcelona has participated in an international study that has found new evidence linking traumatic experiences and stressful events with endometriosis, a chronic systemic inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus.

Ah, the millennial experience of “every time you get some measure of financial and career stability, the world decides to do something extraordinarily stupid again”
The NIH Office of Research on Women’s Health was created in 1990. Women’s health issues didn’t exist before then. (actually most people just didn’t care) I’m sure the website is down because we’ve solved all those problems. /s

So thrilled to share that we’ve received a grant from Fundació La Marató de TV3 to advance precision therapy for endometriosis using PGx! Our aim is to move beyond the "one-size-fits-all" approach, cutting delays in finding effective treatments and reducing side effects for patients. #endometriosis

A sobering empirical piece in JAMA. Homicide has long been THE LEADING CAUSE of maternal/peripartum death. Here they show: * restrictions on divorce * restrictions on abortion… both correlate with pregnancy homicide (albeit differently, depending on age/race) 🛟🩺 jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
