Instead of studying illness, a Stanford Medicine research team is studying elite endurance athletes to uncover clues about longevity & future treatment paths. #StanDOM's @euanashley.bsky.social is part of the team behind it. stanford.io/4f8SSx4

These sorts of maps will increasingly become central tools in our quest to understand disease-causing human genes to help patients and prevent disease.

euanashley @euanashley.bsky.social · 01/11/2025

Further, functional scores correlated with hyperlipidemia phenotypes in prospective human cohorts and augmented polygenic scores to improve risk inference.

100

euanashley @euanashley.bsky.social · 01/11/2025

This yielded sequence–function maps that recapitulate known biochemistry, offer functional insights, and provide evidence for interpreting clinical variants.

euanashley @euanashley.bsky.social · 01/11/2025

Here, Daniel and team tested the impact of nearly all possible (~17,000) missense coding variants in the receptor for LDL ("bad cholesterol"), the gene most commonly responsible for FH. Importantly, they tested two functional readouts: LDLR cell-surface abundance and LDL uptake.

euanashley @euanashley.bsky.social · 01/11/2025

The new science of "variant effect mapping" uses cellular biology to model all possible variants in important genes in advance, providing scientists and clinicians with estimates as to their pathogenicity.

110

euanashley @euanashley.bsky.social · 01/11/2025

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is among the most common inherited cardiovascular diseases. It causes early heart attacks that are preventable with modern therapy. The challenge is that many variants identified by sequencing are of unclear significance.

Juxtaposing the clear benefits of exercise with the likely (small) risks of low-moderate alcohol consumption. Not sure how far we can take this math but in a world where risks are everywhere and are hard to calibrate, it doesn't sound too far off. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
