New @WitteLab paper on cfDNA in prostate cancer by .@emmalyn_chen, @johnwitte, @felixfengmd. While cfDNA concentration predicts mets, it has limited diagnostic ability for localized dx. But fragment size may distinguish localized dx. @UCSF_Epibiostat.

Exciting findings from @WitteLab collaboration with @KPDOR led by @RebeccaEGraff shows cross-phenotype PRS effects may enable a more integrated model of cancer risk prediction, and inform new strategies toward reducing the burden of cancer. @LoriSakoda @johnwitte @taylorbcavazos.
Evaluating cross-cancer relationships of polygenic risk scores for 16 cancers in two large cohorts. @RebeccaEGraff, @johnwitte, @LoriSakoda, @WitteLab, @KPDOR .

Great video and blog post by @Linda_Kachuri explaining results from our recent paper showing how PRS improve cancer risk prediction. Watch it here and read the story behind the paper: .@johnwitte @Mattias31.

New @WitteLab paper from PhD student @taylorbcavazos on improving transferability of polygenic risk scores. @johnwitte @UCSF.
Thrilled to have my 1st PhD paper published at @HGGAdvances! Here, we provide further evidence to support the push towards inclusivity in GWAS showing variants identified in diverse populations may be necessary to achieve equality in PRS prediction.
