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

[New York State Genetics Task Force @NYSGenTaskForce]

Closing out the morning with gender affirming care for transgender and gender diverse patients led by Gabrielle Ernst, MS, CGC.

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.

[New York State Genetics Task Force @NYSGenTaskForce]

We’re back from break with therapeutic gene editing for cardiovascular and metabolic disease with Kiran Musunuru, MD, PhD, MPH, ML, MRA.

[New York State Genetics Task Force @NYSGenTaskForce]

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

[New York State Genetics Task Force @NYSGenTaskForce]

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

[New York State Genetics Task Force @NYSGenTaskForce]

Up next: Preimplantation Genetic Testing for HLA matching, covering both clinical applications and ethical considerations with Andria Besser, MS, CGC and Emily Patterson, BS.

[New York State Genetics Task Force @NYSGenTaskForce]

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.

[New York State Genetics Task Force @NYSGenTaskForce]

Next up: DEI Grant updates with Radhika Sawh, MS, CGC, NYSGTF Community Outreach Director at Large.
