Many thanks AllofUsResearch Josh Denny . I was very please to see this but just checked out the website but still very clear limited to US based non-profit institutions. Is this pre-empting an exciting announcement next week at the #ASHG22 ?

Hear an update from Chris Whelan at the #UKBiobank Scientific Conference about the journey so far in the UK Biobank Pharma Proteomics Project, helping to drive the #discovery of new biomarkers, diagnostics & medicines #UKBSC22 ow.ly/sW2K50Lc0uk

Systematic Mendelian randomization using the human plasma proteome have identified 6 potential targets (TFPI, TMPRSS5, IL6RA, MMP12, CD40, CD6) for stroke. Thx to ⁦Joanna Howson⁩ ⁦Stephen Burgess⁩ ⁦Adam Butterworth⁩ ⁦⁩ ⁦BHF Cardiovascular Epidemiology Unit at Cambridge⁩ nature.com/articles/s4146…

One neat thing about (nearly) every gene being significant is we can switch from focusing on p-value to focusing on effect size.
