This week, we explore the genetics behind the production of antinuclear antibodies (ANA) in individuals without clinical autoimmune disease, using data from the All of Us registry. Our guest, Dr. Mehmet Hocaoglu shares insights into the significance of understanding ANA positivity and its potential genetic underpinnings, highlighting how large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) can predict susceptibility to autoimmune conditions. We cover the study's methodology, the unique All of Us dataset, and the complexities of genetic analysis. Dr. Hocaoglu also discusses his personal journey in rheumatology research, offering advice for aspiring researchers, especially international medical graduates (IMGs).
