Failure to understand that the fundamental principle of Mendelian randomization (MR) is of gene-environment equivalence contributes to the flood of nonsense MR papers that are appearing; Shah Ebrahim, Gib Hemani and I explain why in this short commentary. journals.plos.org/plosmedicine...

In our new preprint, we develop a genetic proxy for hepatic AGT synthesis inhibition, enabling human genetic validation of a promising emerging antihypertensive target. AGT is an emerging target of liver-delivered RNA-based antihypertensive therapeutics👇

From DNA microarrays to somatic mosaicism in population cohorts
Nature Reviews Genetics, Published online: 24 February 2026; doi:10.1038/s41576-026-00948-0Chikashi Terao recalls a paper by Loh et al., which introduced a highly sensitive algorithm to detect low-fraction chromosomal mosaicism from SNP array data, enabling large-scale mapping of clonal haematopoiesis.

"What makes FIMM special is how seamlessly everything is integrated. Biologists, clinicians, and data scientists work closely together, not just in theory but in practice. On top of that, access to large-scale national data enables us to ask questions that simply couldn’t be explored elsewhere."

🚨 Our parent-of-origin study is out in Nature! 🧬 Maternal and paternal alleles can have distinct — even opposite — effects on human traits, revealing a hidden layer of genetic architecture that standard GWAS miss. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41... Highlights below!
