🧬 #eshg2026 Prof Hingroani 🇬🇧 on polygenic risk scores for screening and common disease prediction.
Strong data and interesting discussion: are we expecting too much from PRS? 🤔 📊
#GenomicMedicine #PRS
🧬 Fascinating #esh2026 session on RNA splicing and rare disease genetics. From RNU2-2–related disorders to SpliceAI triaging and iPSC-derived brain models.
Understanding splicing is transforming diagnosis and therapeutic discovery 🚀🔬 #RareDisease #Genomics
Day 2 at #eshg2026
“Let’s Debate: Genomic Newborn Screening” 🧬👶
Really enjoyed hearing the different views on this evolving topic. A fantastic panel discussion with thoughtful arguments on both sides.

#eshg2026 day 3!
🧬 Really enjoyed the Mendelian Disorders session at #eshg2026 this morning.
Fascinating talks on DHX36, RLF, MACROH2A1, LDB1 and CHD3, showing how novel disease gene discovery is increasingly being linked to underlying epigenetic and transcriptomic mechanisms.
🧬 #eshg2026 interesting session on ethics & equity in genomics publishing:
👥 Involving citizens in publishing genomics research
✍️ Editorial experiences of negative author behaviours
🌏 Inclusivity & indigenous populations in genomics publishing
🔒 Privacy concerns
⚕️Reproductive health equity
