Study finds that Non-DNMT3A CHIP was associated with CKD progression among individuals with CKD, and Tet2-CHIP mouse models support a causal role in kidney injury. https://bit.ly/JASN0680

In patients with CKD, non-DNMT3A CHIP was associated with cardiovascular disease with an effect size similar to that reported in the general population. https://bit.ly/JASN0671

Research suggests Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) may contribute to CKD and its comorbidities, necessitating additional research. https://bit.ly/JASN0739

Coancestry superposed on admixed populations yields measures of relatedness at individual-level resolution The admixture model is widely applied to estimate and interpret population structure among individuals. Here we consider a "standard admixture" model that assumes the admixed populations are unrelated...

Happy to share "super admixture", a new framework for modeling the human population structure!

What does the circulating proteome teach us about common heart diseases?

Thrilled to share our analysis identifying new biomarkers, drug targets, and prediction models for these conditions.
