Delighted to share biggest paper yet from GenOMICC study. Our first report found 5 genes underlying critical covid, one of which pointed to an effective new treatment (baricitinib). Now we report 49 genes & multiple new drug options nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

20,000 patients have now been recruited to the @GenomiccStudy. The Genetics of Mortality in Critical Care (GenOMICC) study is a research programme with the number one aim of understanding how our genes can influence our body’s response to conditions like #sepsis.
