Indeed great collaboration. We found that ppl diagnosed with schizophrenia have 50-fold increased rate of T>G and CpG transversions in TFBS in early development. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Glad to share the latest preprint from my PhD w/ my co-first authors @jones_attila @seplyarskiy! We find enrichment of somatic variants at transcription factor binding sites in schizophrenia w/ specific mutational patterns.

This is shocking. DuckDuckGo has a search deal with Microsoft which prevents them from blocking MS trackers. And they can't talk about it!
This is why privacy products that are beholden to giant corporations can never deliver true privacy; the business model just doesn't work.

1/Paxlovid rebound: with 2/2 in my family with Paxlovid rebound, stories rife on Twitter, and 2 completely unscientific polls showing 46-47% rebound, I am thinking about Paxlovid efficacy in terms of relative risk, absolute risk, and Number Needed to Treat (NNT)

An important new study is out. Baseline findings from the NIH's longitudinal, intramural Long COVID study — perhaps the most detailed, controlled, comprehensive investigation of multiple health metrics in this setting thus far conducted — were just published in @AnnalsIM

The study enrolled 189 mostly non-hospitalized adults post-Covid & 120 controls.
Post-acute sequelae of COVID (PASC) were defined as subgroup w/ worsening symptoms/conditions after COVID-19
All participants went to the NIH for an extensive battery of tests, including:

To summarize, there was a large burden of symptoms & worse mental health post-COVID (particularly among those with PASC) but no difference in objective neurocognition, & no evidence of "ongoing systemic inflammation or immune activation" or any organ damage.

interesting and I think balanced post by Derek Lowe on long covid study
"See, I told you this was going to be controversial! ....so far there are no diagnostic findings that would allow you to even say for sure that post-Covid even exists, biochemically."
