A GWAS on 382 Hispanic newborns revealed 6 significant loci for 24 neonatal blood traits, highlighting chromosome 2p11.2's CD8A. #Genetics PMID:42385717, Am J Hum Genet 2026, @AJHGNews https://www.cell.com/ajhg/fulltext/S000292972600234X #Medsky #Pharmsky #RNA #ASHG #ESHG 🧪

🧬 Dive into the perspective article in #GENETICS that proposes investigating the genetic architecture of complex phenotypes in lower-risk, younger individuals, which may reduce residual variance and improve power to isolate the genetics of complex disease-related traits.

🧠 How a brain cell edits itself

Scientists in China studied human brain cells and found that trimming the end of a gene's message can switch on disease genes standard methods miss, including one tied to Parkinson's.
