  8. "the strength of the #germline signal regulates the organism’s life span. As a worm ages, the quality of its eggs or sperm declines—what we refer to as biological clock. The decline is also reflected in the germ cells’ changing ability to transmit signals from the brain’s mitochondria. As the worm grows older, its germline transmits the repair signal less effectively, and so its body declines, too."

  9. Experiences from a rural hospital in North Carolina show hereditary genetic testing of all breast cancer patients is feasible and can result in changes in care for many patients.

  13. Wanted to share this great work on curating #ClonalHematopoiesis (#CHIP) in biobanks just published in #Blood. This work, led by Dr. Caitlyn Vlasschaert, used known CHIP associations with #aging, #germline variants, and #HealthOutcomes to carefully define variant calling criteria in All of Us and UK Biobank studies (N > 500K). The call sets are in the process of being returned to the biobanks so that they may be used by researchers anywhere! Link: doi.org/10.1182/blood.20220188 #medicine #genomics

  18. We were curious about how #TEs would be impacted by #ReproAging, since #TE reactivation is frequent during somatic aging. Because of transgenerational mutagenic potential, dedicated safeguards evolved to keep #TEs in check in the #germline, notably through the #PIWI pathway. 3/n

  23. Hi Mastodon!
    I’m a Academic Clinical Lecturer in #genetics at Imperial College London and an MRC Investigator in the #epigenetics section at the London Institute of Medical Sciences studying #germline and #pluripotency. We also have a growing interest in #infertility and developmental disorders #raredisease. Post mainly about #Science #Squash #Scotland #Sport. Also a bit #Sweary - sorry mum. Still on Twitter interested to see what happens here though

  24. Something I find fascinating is how different #germline mutations can affect the risk of acquiring somatic mutations and #cancer. In this recent #hematology paper, the authors found that germline #DDX41 mutations lead to myeloid neoplasia with a different spectrum of somatic mutations. Intriguingly, they also found that DDX41-mutated patients did not have worse survival even with acquired #TP53 mutations (which is normally very bad!): ashpublications.org/blood/arti #science #medicine #genomics
