Replying to @Jarno_Kettunen
Multigenerational study reveals that T2D-PRS modulates the age at diagnosis of HNF1A-MODY arising from p.(Gly292fs). The variant carriers are 5kg leaner and exhibit more active lipolysis than their non-carrier relatives #HNF1A #MODY #Diabetes bit.ly/34u5Uo5 🔓

#GeneRISK-hankkeen seurantatutkimuksessa on selvitetty koronavirusinfektiosta kertovien vasta-aineiden ja oireiden yleisyyttä. Aineiston keräys ja vasta-ainetestit jatkuvat kesäkuun loppuun ja tulokset tulevat täsmentymään, kertoo @samrip. #covid19suomi mediuutiset.fi/uutiset/mu/69…

Kansainväliset tutkimukset osoittavat, että perimä vaikuttaa myös tutuimpien suusairauksien, kuten. karieksen riskiin. Hammaslääketieteellisiä tutkimusprojekteja on aloitettu myös suomalaista geeniperimää tutkivassa FinnGen-hankkeessa. apollonia.fi/uutishuone/tied…
