Human genetics implicate thromboembolism in the pathogenesis of long COVID in individuals of European ancestry.
Nature cardiovascular research ·doi:10.1038/s44161-025-00749-4

SARS-CoV-2 infection can result in long COVID, characterized by post-acute symptoms from multiple organs. Current hypotheses on mechanisms underlying long COVID include persistent inflammation and thromboembolism; however, compelling eviden…

IL6 genetic perturbation mimicking IL-6 inhibition is associated with lower cardiometabolic risk.
Nature cardiovascular research ·doi:10.1038/s44161-025-00700-7

Human genetics supports a causal involvement of IL-6 signaling in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, prompting the clinical development of anti-IL-6 therapies. Genetic evidence has historically focused on IL6R missense variants, but em…

Risk of endometrial cancer in women treated with ovary-stimulating drugs for subfertility.
The Cochrane database of systematic reviews ·doi:10.1002/14651858.cd010931.pub2

BackgroundMedical treatment for subfertility principally involves the use of ovary-stimulating agents, including selective oestrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), such as clomiphene citrate, gonadotropins, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnR…
