Love this quote from Curtis: 'The key to your genetics is that they are similar to a check engine light. It’s not a diagnosis, but it says, “Hey, there’s something that we see in your genetics that you may want to check into.”' rollingout.com/2023/10/28/23a…
Our new exome based service is called 23andMe+ Total Health and includes genetics-based clinical care: blog.23andme.com/articles/total…
We’re gonna offer a sequencing service, y’all! #sequencing bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Ryan Taft and I did a short podcast with @GeneticsSociety on the work we're doing on innovation in genomics and precision health with @NASEM_Health. Check it out here: learning.ashg.org/products/the-f…
Proceedings from the next-gen sequencing in newborns workshop, at which @NouraAbulHusn was a speaker!, is out now: nap.nationalacademies.org/read/27243/cha… #GenomicsRT #DNASequencing @NASEM_Health
We'll be at #SITC23 with two posters updated safety and efficacy data from the 23ME-00610 program! investors.23andme.com/news-releases/…
Thanks for having me, @kevinfolta! @23andme and @23andMeResearch are fave topics of mine. 😁 I haven’t listened to the episode yet though - too much of having to listen to myself. 😂
Talking Biotech #413 Home genetic testing offers many insights into potential disease susceptibility, ancestry, drug sensitivities, and so much more- plus the data set can inform drug design. Interview w/ @23andMe VP Dr. Joyce Tung. #MedTwitter @ColabraHq share.transistor.fm/s/6592e0c0
So proud of the @23andme team for working with FDA to pave the way for making this important risk information more available to a more diverse population. investors.23andme.com/news-releases/…
Equally important to the scientific results shared in the Catoctin Furnace paper - the ethical questions that had to be addressed. See Roslyn Curry's blog post blog.23andme.com/articles/ethic… and the companion ethics paper cell.com/ajhg/fulltext/…
Pleased for @23andMeResearch to have contributed to this finding of a novel risk factor in GBA1 in people of African descent thelancet.com/journals/laneu…
Super excited for the launch of 23andMe+ Health Tracks, which uses a model that includes both a PRS and lifestyle factors (and age and sex). It's an important step for us towards integrating genetics into the overall picture of a person's health. blog.23andme.com/articles/stay-…
Ancient DNA researchers and 23andMe joined forces to uncover present day ties to a cemetery at Maryland's Catoctin Furnace, where enslaved people were buried. 🎧 Learn more in a new #SciencePodcast🎙️: scim.ag/3BE @dopelabspodcast @Dr_TSho @Zsaidso @EadaoinSays
Cover of Science! Thank you to @harvardmed and @NMNH for your collaboration with @23andMeResearch on this complex topic.
Researchers have uncovered the lineage and legacy—including more than 40,000 living relatives—of free and enslaved African Americans who labored at the Catoctin Furnace in Maryland, between 1774 and 1850. Read that study and more this week in Science: scim.ag/3B5
Another nice example of the importance and value of doing research in many populations.
New preprint - In a GWAS of cataract in Puerto Ricans, we found a rare variant association with odds ratio 12.7! Work led by Jing Shi. @jaredmoconnell @kasia_bryc @vvacic @willfreyman @NouraAbulHusn @adamauton @23andMeResearch medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Turns out - not a scam!
Tell us the truth, Doc: Is 23andMe a scam? Human Geneticist Dr. Neville Sanjana is here with the answer:
Advances in DNA #sequencing can supplement traditional #NewbornScreening techniques for treatable conditions in newborns. Register now for @NASEM_Health’s #GenomicsRT June 7 workshop to learn more: ow.ly/5CHm50NL4zj. Bonus: @NouraAbulHusn is one of the speakers!
