Every week, I see a new study talking about this or that effect of GLP-1 receptor agonists like #ozempic. FINALLY, we have a study evaluating all the outcomes (good and bad) in one dataset. There are some... surprises. 🧵

Exon location of glycine substitutions impacts kidney survival in autosomal dominant Alport Syndrome - PubMed Our results confirm that ADAS can lead to ESKD. We demonstrated that a glycine substitution involving the distal exons had a negative impact on renal survival in ADAS patients, probably due to a trime...
