Nice paper from @GenesHealth, an increasingly valuable resource
Among British S Asians (individuals ancestrally from Bangladesh & Pakistan living in East London), a missense variant in PIEZO1 (MAF 3.9%, but very rare in non-SAS) leads to lower HgA1c & thus delayed T2D diagnosis nature.com/articles/s41467-0… @NatureComms

There is a huge need to understand how BMI affects long term multiple long terms diseases. This PhD is jointly with the University of Cambridge and AstraZeneca.
Interested in a 4-year PhD studying the genetics of BMI and comorbidities? Don't wait, apply for my @AstraZeneca-funded studentship w/ @MikeXiao_JIANG 🔗: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/48333/ (due October 31)! @CAMBRIDGE_CEU @HLRI_Cambridge @Cambridgecardio @DPHPC @CambridgeATS

Happy to introduce AMIE (Articulate Medical Intelligence Explorer) our research LLM for diagnostic conversations. AMIE surpassed Primary Care Drs in conversational quality & diagnostic accuracy in a "virtual OSCE"-style randomized study. Preprint ➡️ arxiv.org/abs/2401.05654 (1/7)

A twee story on tea by @TorstenBell in @guardian suggests increased consumption of tea (using boiled water) led to a fall in mortality in Britain. This might be true, but there is no mention of how this was linked to massively increased deaths in India 🧵 theguardian.com/commentisfre…
