🧬💥 Do the genetics that make you develop a disease also help you survive it? Not much.
Our new study in Nature Genetics including 9 disease and 7 biobanks shows:
• Susceptibility variants ≠ survival
• PRSs for onset weak at predicting progression
• Lifespan PRS predicts survival better

One of the biggest culture shocks for me in Norway is the pervasiveness of artificial sweeteners in food/drink products. Instituted as a well-meaning public health intervention and incentivized by sugar tax, I worry about their widespread use in individuals without metabolic diagnoses.

New @natgenet.nature.com study led by @tuomohartonen.bsky.social & @detroiki.bsky.social from FIMM explores how to better predict disease risk by combining information from electronic health records (phenotype risk scores) and genetics using 3 large biobank-based studies. Congratulations!

Excited to see my first paper out in Nature Genetics! 🎉 We compared EHR-based models and polygenic scores for disease prediction across >845K participants in 3 biobank-based studies, as part of the INTERVENE consortium. Grateful to all collaborators who made this possible!
Are electronic health records (EHR) more predictive of disease onset than polygenic scores? Can we transfer EHR-based prediction models between countries? Our study on these questions using 3 biobank-based studies with N>845K, is out in @natgenet.nature.com today:
