Presentations from our group at ASHG

The lab will be presenting multiple talks and posters at the upcoming American Society of Human Genetics Meeting in late October (to be held virtually).

Talks:

• Intae Moon: Utilizing Electronic Health Records (EHR) and tumor panel sequencing to demystify prognosis of Cancer of Unknown Primary (CUP) patients. 10/27, 11:15am. Session: Personalized Medicine Approaches in Healthcare
• Austin Wang: Single-cell eQTLs across 343 samples reveal neuronal and glial genetic drivers of psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. 10/30, 11:00am. Sesssion: Molecular Mechanisms of Neurologic Disease

Posters:

• Kodi Taraszka: A genome-wide association study of somatic events in 17,221 tumors identifies 1,683 germline-somatic interaction
• Cindy Kalita: A powerful method to estimate cell-type specific QTLs from bulk expression by leveraging allelic imbalance.
• Dennis Grishin: Allelic imbalance of chromatin accessibility in cancer identifies novel germline risk mechanisms
• Stefan Groha: Germline, somatic and clinical associations with response to Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors and adverse events in a large patient cohort
• Doug Yao: Dissecting regulatory disease networks via integration of Perturb-seq, eQTL, and GWAS

Collaborations:

• Yiorgos Kalantzis (Palamara Lab): Leveraging identity-by-descent across 500,000 UK Biobank samples to detect association to ultra-rare variants.
