Our study on the genetic determinants of kidney structure is available online in Kidney International as a pre-proof! We used a CNN to derive kidney sub-volumes from MRIs and performed a GWAS to uncover their genetic determinants. Thanks to all involved! #CKD #Imaging #DeepLearning #GWAS

Congratulations to @sfb1453.bsky.social PIs Athina Ganner, Elke Neumann-Haefelin, Ian Frew, and Sven Diedierichs and their teams! 👏👏👏 Nonstop mutations cause loss of renal tumor suppressor proteins VHL and BAP1 and affect multiple stages of protein translation www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Nonstop mutations cause loss of renal tumor suppressor proteins VHL and BAP1 and affect multiple stages of protein translation

Extending a protein at its end affects its stability, but also its translation efficiency and even selection of its start.
