Our @GenomeDiver and @NYCKidSeq teams are heartbroken to learn of the passing of Faygel Beren

Her inventiveness, enthusiasm and optimism were infectious, we will miss her. Our condolences to her family and friends.
This is big. The #GenomeDiver team is now working with the @pnrobins group at @jacksonlab to develop a combined #LIRICAL - #GenomeDiver resource that will combine reverse phenotyping with variant prioritisation and exploration.
The joint product should be a gamechanger.
OK, this is a combination of a mild rant and a targeted question.
I have a patient with one of these awful, misleading, anxiety-inducing variants of uncertain significance (VUS). Everything bad about modern medical genomics is embodied in this useless category of result. 1/
The @genome_gov funding for a clinical trial of #GenomeDiver has come through this week!
We are excited to test how reverse phenotyping in follow up of undiagnosed @NYCKidSeq@hail_CSER cases can yield new diagnoses.
Great to get the team back together!
T32 training grant (US citizens/green card holders) to study non-coding variants in developmental disorders.
Now focusing on getting a computational genomics researcher for this position, a lot of fascinating work out there to be tackled.

Isn’t this what screening tests are meant to do? 1/

Opened NIH Commons just now.
Our @genomediver grant scored on 3rd centile. Initial feeling of mild regret it didn't make first centile, but we'll take it -- looking forward to getting the team busy again!
At our @hail_CSER Fall 2021 meeting, distressing to hear that the response to this @NEJM article was less than hoped.
Please read and retweet.

Thanks to our colleagues at the @EinsteinMed@MontefioreNYC Center for Health Data Innovations for embedding #GenomeDiver into an Epic tab.
This is how we can enhance rare disease diagnostics, with clinician input, directly in the EHR.
