certified genetic counsellor discovering the world of genomics - one coffee at a time ☕

[Ed Esplin, MD, PhD @EdEsplin]

In a #genetictesting study of >1M #patients, 80% of VUS were reclassified as likely benign/benign, using @Invitae's incomparable #Sherloc variant classification system, w/ @Invitae's #AI-powered, #MachineLearning-trained #EvidenceModelingPlatform (#EMP) & validated on data from >4M #patients, "...essential for optimizing...#genetictesting results... [reporting] and next steps...".

This reaffirms that, "VUSs...should not be used as a basis for clinical decisions regarding #patient care," & do not represent an obstacle to #universal #germlinetesting

@CathyHerbrand @nicky_hudson @PascalBorry @ParryBronwyn @PET_BioNews Hi Cathy, this is really exciting. Our team works in the preconception population space and are noticing a lower uptake of ECS than we expected. Would love to pick your brain on this topic and your experiences, we are wondering if there is a better approach??

Being a carrier is usually invisible, which is why carrier screening is so important for family planning. Learn more about how carrier screening can help identify risks early on & make informed decisions about your genetic health. #CarrierScreening #GeneticHealth

@Dr_AOSK Oh no... don't let it take away the tea.... Hope you and the kids feel better soon ❤️ miss you!

[Genetic Counselors @GeneticCouns]

Check out the new evidence-based practice guideline recommending expanded carrier screening be made available to all individuals considering reproduction and all pregnant pairs, regardless of their ancestry. Learn more about these guidelines here: https://t.co/zQppp38568

@GeneGrayDNA Great question - would also like to know if they a panel is being ordered and how much/if it overlaps with Baylor PreSeek NIPT for the 30 gene disorders.

"In genetics we never say never, and we never say always" - this is it, one of the most important messages in genetic counselling, across all specialties.
