Check out this paper describing the phenotype and spectrum in TAOK related disorders from an excellent up and coming geneticist @NourElkhateeb14 and from the inspiring @MeenaBalasubra5 group
@ExeterGenomes are celebrating!! The team in Exeter have been delivering diagnoses for children with rare genetic diseases since 2013. Initially as exomes, now thriving as a national rapid genome sequencing service (R14). We've just passed our 9000th family 😮🎉🥳 @SWGLH
Clinical Scientist Dr Hayley Lees is here to discuss rapid genomic testing in newborns and transforming clinical care and informing the Generation Study.

So many posters, so little time! Thanks to those that came to visit mine but if you missed it you can find out more here in our commentary piece https://t.co/Ag2RRupoRm #ESHG2024@ExeterGenomes@exeter_lab@SWGenomics
Two-year-old Teddi is the first child in the UK to have life-saving gene therapy treatment for metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) at @MFTnhs.
One year after treatment, she's showing no signs of the devastating disease and will continue to have regular check-ups. 💙

1 in 17 people in the UK are affected with a rare disease, there are 7000 different conditions and 50% are children so thank you @rarediseaseday for spreading the awareness it needs!
Amazing to hear that Reuben is doing so well and it's wonderful that we can provide whole genome sequencing from within the NHS for acutely unwell babies and children 🌟@swglh@RDExeter@SWGenomics
On #RareDiseasesDay Eleanor and Atsushi thank NHS teams across the country who saved baby Rueben's life with a groundbreaking national genetic testing service rolled out by the NHS in October last year.
