📢 New publication! Our paper in Nature Portfolio reveals how certain variants of the myostatin gene, a protein that helps regulate muscle growth, are associated with preservation of muscle mass during weight loss. In de-identified data from one million individuals, we found that these variants are linked to increased skeletal muscle mass and reduced body fat, while showing no increase in cardiac or reproductive risks. This discovery opens exciting possibilities for developing more effective weight management approaches that preserve muscle strength. Check out the full paper: https://bit.ly/4d4x6KL
