Celiac disease causes inflammation in your small intestine when you eat gluten. If you eat it a lot, the constant inflammation can damage your intestine. It can make it hard to get enough nutrients from your food. Fortunately, eating gluten-free foods can often reverse the damage.

When mutation is non-coding, look for gene that can be regulated by sequence in the non-coding region. But something else can be there - here it was non-coding RNA 😁. #eshg2026

This is probably the most important message when analysis sequencing data. We frequently don't think about it but limitations are real and can lead to incorrect reporting & missing a mutation. #eshg2026

Agnes Caruso @agnescaruso.bsky.social · 15/06/2026
Frequent variants can still be causative. And poor sequencing quality can lead to discarding of a variant that matters. #eshg2026
