Did you know that it is estimated that there are only 6,500 genetic counselors and 1,300 medical geneticists in North America? Outside of a limited workforce, there are additional barriers at several stages to patients getting appropriate genetics care.

Our first speaker today is Srilakshmi Raj, PhD, from Albert Einstein, who is talking about genetic disease risk variants in founder populations in NYC

[John Greally @greally]

This is as close as our group could get to a how-to guide for studies of the environment and #epigenetics

Don't forget DNA sequence variation. Look for transcription factor and cell signalling effects.

New work shows Genome Sequencing may yield 2-fold higher diagnoses in children with suspected genetic disorders compared to Targeted Gene Panels...

BUT, only in European-American and Hispanic/Latino(a) children, not yet in African-American children..1/n
