We find TDP-43 loss to cause presynaptic defects, which are rescued by ASOs correcting a single cryptic exon in UNC13A. Surprising effect of just one cryptic exon and promising strategy for ALS! Matt Keuss @PeteHarley95 in great collaboration with @jbneuro biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Beautiful work from Pietro Fratta, Juan Burrone groups linking TDP-43 to synaptic function with UNC13A as key mediator. Combined with human genetics, strengthens case for UNC13A as promising target for patients with ALS.

Nice example of integrating human genetics, functional genomics and protein structure to understand disease biology. Congrats @artwuster @karls_es and team.

There are haploinsufficiencies that are caused almost entirely by missense variants instead of truncating mutations. Those genes are more vulnerable to missense variants disrupting their function, and SLC6A1 is an example. Here's our paper: cell.com/ajhg/fulltext/S0002…

If there was only one scientific practice I could teach to every scientist regardless of stage or field I think it would be: look at the data. Spot check it. Find a few data points and trace them through to see if they make sense. Look at the raw data. Don't just do analyses.

We show that inhibiting glycogen synthase (SRT) reduces glycogen accumulation and corrects muscle metabolism in a mouse model of Pompe, as monotherapy or combined with enzyme replacement (ERT). 2/3

A variant of APOL1, p.N264K, is associated with reduced risk of CKD and ESKD among carriers of APOL1 high risk variants to levels comparable to individuals with APOL1 low-risk genotypes bit.ly/JASN0219 @DrFlashHeart @MichaelEMatheny @KSusztak @Eddiesiew2 @CassyRCohen

Study ids and functionalizes a renal protective variant in APOL1, implicating ion conductance as pathologic mechanism for APOL1 kidney dz. This mechanism has been further validated by @VertexPharma POC study of APOL1 pore inhibitor in FSGS @NEJM.

Initial data on our small molecule APOL1 pore inhibitor shared at @ASNKidney 2022 with exciting updates to come at Kidney Week 2023. We expect to enter the clinic this year.

A mutation in APOL1 that protects against kidney disease. How does it work? Seems to reduce APOL1 pore function Cool new work integrating human genetics with cellular APOL1 function. 👏@alexbickmdphd @ercgrn @MazeInBiotech journals.lww.com/jasn/fullte…

A 🧵 on some of my intuitions/priors about the genetics of complex and molecular traits in humans (i.e. what I think of as typical), largely motivated by GWAS/QTL studies over the past decade [citing papers with nice figures where possible]

Now moving to test in pts with Pompe later this year. Great achievement for Maze R&D team - from concept to proof of concept in humans. @rda_pompe
