Delighted to contribute to this paper led by @emayerho showing that CHIP is enriched among young pts presenting with strokes of unknown etiology, including how CHIP testing changed the management for a subset of patients ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/… @StrokeAHA_ASA

Can polygenic scores be used in clinically relevant scenarios? Have a look at our @StrokeAHA_ASA paper by @emayerho @CDAndersonMD, where we show that adding a PRS for ICH to HAS-BLED in patients under anticoagulation improves risk stratification for ICH ahajournals.org/eprint/5D6QG…

Happy to share our most recent work on PRS in ICH demonstrating how genetics can improve prediction in a clinical setting. Thanks to @CDAndersonMD @mgeorgakis1 @JRosand_MD @rainermpg et al for amazing mentorship!

Just out! 📢 📢 📢 The largest study on stroke genetics 🧬 with more than 2M individuals (incl. >200,000 cases) just published in @Nature! Have a look here 👉 nature.com/articles/s41586-0… 🧵1/7

While the benefits of statins for preventing vascular disease are well-established, Mayerhofer et al. show that genetic factors influencing the response to statins are also associated with risk for intracerebral haemorrhage. bit.ly/3PBAbV1

Have a look at our Mendelian randomization study exploring the effects of genetically predicted on-statin LDL response on risk of ICH that just came out in @Brain1878 @emayerho @CDAndersonMD @rainermpg @stevesphd @CGM_MGH @broadinstitute @MGHBrainHealth academic.oup.com/brain/advan…

ICYMI: "Genetically predicted on-statin LDL response is associated with higher intracerebral hemorrhage risk" led by @emayerho and @mgeorgakis1 at medRxiv: medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…. Not the first example of this approach I've seen, but a really interesting one. Thread follows!

I am happy to share our recent work on statins and intracerebral hemorrhage that illustrates how genetic variation of drug response can be used to assess drug effects. Many thanks to @mgeorgakis1 @cdandersonmd @rainermpg @jrosand_md @stevesphd and others medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

glad to share our article on the genetics of cryptogenic stroke in Annals of Neurology doi.org/10.1002/ana.26332 reflecting my work @CGM_MGH @broadinstitute Main message: genetics don't respect our diagnostic boundaries
