Thanks in part to @23andMe research participants, @IMBatUQ demonstrated that women with a high genetic risk of developing depression are more likely to develop heart disease. imb.uq.edu.au/article/2024/1…
New landmark study led by @EdinburghUni and @KingsCollegeLon looking at genomes of 5M+ people across 29 countries — including 23andMe customers who consented to participate in research — uncovered ~300 previously unknown genetic links to depression. 23and.me/DepressionGene……
We are excited about the many positive conversations we had at the JP Morgan meeting this year, on the heels of our Discover23 press release. Looking forward to many more research collabs! investors.23andme.com/news-releases/…

Much-needed data on the genetics of #longCOVID in a new preprint by @23andMeResearch - GWAS of #LongCOVID identified 3 loci pointing to immune and thrombo-inflammatory mechanisms 🔥 @ninaadsc 1) HLA-DQA1–HLA-DQB 2) ABO 3) BPTF–KPAN2–C17orf58 (1/) medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
📌Publication alert: In a preprint from the @23andMeResearch team, we conducted one of the largest GWAS study of Long COVID and identified genetic links of chronic conditions with Long COVID. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
Today we’re announcing a new study to advance research on lung cancer. While lung cancer research and targeted therapies have provided hope and progress for many, this study aims to learn more about the genetics behind the disease and its causes. More: 23and.me/3YjhWdH

Excited about our latest paper in Blood Advances. Blog post here: blog.23andme.com/articles/new-g…
Sickle cell trait is not a disease. It's a risk factor for blood clotting but the risk is still very small, lower than for those with heterozygous factor V Leiden, says study author Dr. Rakhi Naik (@redcell_doc). ➡️ ow.ly/AqGx50Tm3L9 @BloodAdvances @23andMe @VenceBonham
We're looking for a scientific lead for our long standing (15 years!) Parkinson's disease research program. The program includes over 35k genotyped, consented individuals with PD. If you have a passion for PD and people living with PD, check it out: 23andme.com/careers/jobs/7…
In a preprint from the @23andMeResearch team, we used Mendelian randomization to explore the genetically-predicted causal effects of Lp(a) on a range (n=489) of human traits and diseases. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
In the latest edition of "Huh, I didn't expect that to work", our latest paper shows that LLMs can outperform existing methods for identifying causal genes in genome-wide association studies. 🧵 medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
Study in @NatureMedicine shows having 2 copies of APOE4 may cause Alzheimer's, not just increase risk. This shows the value of genetic testing. Early diagnosis = early treatment. Knowledge is power! Read more: 23and.me/3UUNy7q #AlzheimersResearch #GeneticTesting #23andMe
UPDATE: 23andMe to present preliminary efficacy & biomarker data for 23ME-00610 at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. More info here: 23and.me/ASCO24 #ASCO2024 #CancerResearch

Today at #AACR24, our own Kim Gerrick is presenting at 3:20PM PST in Room 30, hope to see you there!

We're looking for a Sr. Bioinformatics Scientist to join our Research team! More details here: 23and.me/4aqlFJP
We're heading to San Diego for the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting to connect and share updates from the @23andMe Therapeutics team. Hope to see you there! More details: 23and.me/4aksIDV #AACR24
