#genechat#NYSGTF
Cancer risk assessment for trans and gender‑diverse patients has to be organ‑based, not gender‑based: Which organs are present? What hormones, at what dose and for how long? What surgeries? What family history and genetic results? #CancerGenetics
Case spotlight: Baby KJ, born Aug 1, 2024, with a severe CPS1 deficiency and ammonia >1000 within days of life. Instead of only waiting for a liver transplant, a team raced to design a personalized base‑editing therapy targeting his specific variant.
Cardiovascular disease kills 18M people every year and is now the leading cause of death even in the poorest countries. Today we heard how gene editing could turn off cholesterol genes in the liver to change that trajectory. #CRISPR#HeartHealth
HLA‑matching PGT is most often used when a child needs a stem cell transplant for conditions like beta thalassemia, sickle cell disease, or Fanconi anemia—aiming for an embryo that’s both unaffected + HLA‑identical. #HLA#Genetics
Up next: Preimplantation Genetic Testing for HLA matching, covering both clinical applications and ethical considerations with Andria Besser, MS, CGC and Emily Patterson, BS.
Now diving into hormonal management in Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer with Yael Simons, MD.
An important discussion at the intersection of genetics, oncology, and patient-centered care.
Next up: DEI Grant updates with Radhika Sawh, MS, CGC, NYSGTF Community Outreach Director at Large.
