This paper was a long time coming, happy to see it out today in @naturecomms.bsky.social: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
We found some interesting links between genetic regulation of blood cell traits and #glioma risk + survival, pointing to #immune related mechanisms 🧠🧬

Genetic predisposition to altered blood cell homeostasis is associated with glioma risk and survival - Nature Communications
Glioma is an aggressive brain tumor subtype with few known risk factors. Here, the authors utilise Mendelian Randomisation to investigate correlation of immune cell counts with subtype-specific risk a...
