Excited to be able to share my work, out now in #PLOSGenetics, focusing on fine-mapping and identifying causal variants and mechanisms for #arsenic metabolism.

Come check out my poster at #ASHG20 number 2352 on differential DNA methylation between cancerous and benign prostate tissue!.
Two #ASHG20 posters on DNA methylation in prostate (cancer & benign) from my trainees. Both exploring Euro vs. African ancestry differences. @daysparade4 Poster 2436 on prostate cancer risk-loci and meQTLs. @Meytal_C Poster 2352 on differential methylation in cancer vs. benign.

Thank you so much to @ToxSci, @BrandonL_Pierce , Lin Tong, and all coauthors. for their work on this project! So excited to share our results.
Arsenic exposure in drinking water represents a worldwide cancer risk - genome wide association study identifies genetic factor associated with #arsenic metabolism efficiency. @UChicago @BrandonL_Pierce

So excited to share our paper in @ToxSci. Here we show that #arsenic metabolism is influenced by inherited genetic variation near the AS3MT gene and one of the causal variants in this region likely regulates expression of AS3MT in multiple tissue types.

Abstract. Approximately 140 million people worldwide are exposed to inorganic arsenic through contaminated drinking water. Chronic exposure increases risk
