Excited about our new preprint: 1st successful genome-wide study of >61,000 panic attack and 29,000 panic disorder cases. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... We find 17 associations & evidence that peripheral neurons in eye, lungs and heart are involved in panic & other psychiatric disorders 1/n

Multiple advocacy efforts are moving forward, but we must must must know more about what grants were cancelled and why.

🧵Yesterday, I received notice that my #NIH grant, on the social environment, lifecourse, epigenetics & #birthoutcomes in Black families, was terminated. This grant represented a critical effort to address the ⬆️ rates of maternal & infant mortality in the US, particularly among Black mothers & babies

We literally have a Trump clone in power for almost 2 decades, the only thing people should learn from Hungary is to NEVER be like Hungary. Even after our PM resigns there's practically nothing left from the country as they destroyed all public services & privatized everything...

Thank you, Laura! That really means a lot coming from such an incredible and impactful researcher like you.

Oh, I was headed to the women’s leadership lunch when he simply went in, took a sandwich, and left.

One (out of many) experience I think about often is with a Columbia professor at SOBP in 2022. He didn’t ask about my research, just “Where is lunch?”. When he learned I worked at Yale, he said I didn’t have a “Yale accent” and that he only knew where Hungary was because of the “many addicts”.

Observational and Genetic Analyses of Traumatic Experiences and Endometriosis This case-control study analyzes genotypic and phenotypic information from individual-level UK Biobank data, along with genome-wide information from a large meta-analysis and the FinnGen cohort, to determine the relationship between traumatic experiences and endometriosis.

Women with endometriosis are more likely to experience childhood and adulthood traumas, independently of genetic predisposition.

I am from Hungary, I have seen this before. This is Orbán’s playbook on a larger scale. He has been in power for 15 years, and among many other things, his government has taken over academic institutions. Now science is in crisis, and researchers can’t receive EU funds. Terrifying times for the US.

Thank you so much for your contributions, Brendan!

So happy to see this article out now and have gotten to contribute to it! Please go give it a read!

New evidence strengthens link between endometriosis and traumatic experiences The University of Barcelona has participated in an international study that has found new evidence linking traumatic experiences and stressful events with endometriosis, a chronic systemic inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus.

New findings indicate a significant link between traumatic experiences and endometriosis, suggesting trauma may influence the disease's development independently of genetic predisposition. doi.org/g834rn

Thank you so much everyone who contributed to the study!

We used publicly available data from the UKB, FinnGen, IEGC, PGC, and other smaller cohorts. We are so grateful to the researchers who shared these data!

Our findings support the necessity of trauma-informed care in endometriosis. This could even help avoiding further delays on the top of the average 7-10 years in the diagnosis of the disease.

Endometriosis PRS was associated with the disease itself, but we found no interaction with traumatic events, suggesting that trauma assessment could help identify individuals at higher risk.

We also conducted genetic correlation analyses between endometriosis and 23 trauma-related phenotypes, with the strongest associations observed for PTSD and childhood maltreatment.

These experiences included sexual, physical, and emotional traumas (see the results of our LCA below). We also observed that contact traumas (traumatic events involving physical contact with the abuser) also occured more frequently in patients.

I am so excited to share our new study published in @jama.com Psychiatry!

Including >240,000 women (>8,000 patients with endometriosis), we found that patients reported more childhood and adulthood traumatic experiences.
