Why are so many families with high risk indications still not found in the medical system? stays a mystery and is not solved in this paper. However, integrating data from biobanks could help finding those people at risk!(2/2)
To know or not to know? Study participants of Estonian biobank appreciate knowing of having high risk for breast, ovarian or prostate cancer after being counselled and directed to the oncologist appointment.(1/2) https://t.co/RBWgixrDFG
RANZCOG's Genomics Advisory Working Group & Women's Health Committee now recommends that every woman planning a pregnancy or in their first trimester should be given information about preconception carrier screening: https://t.co/T89gB4g8Ur
Use of care and mortality due to corona in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Estonia; data from yesterday 7.4 reports.

This is the face of someone who just spent 9 hours in personal protective equipment moving critically ill Covid19 patients around London.
I feel broken - and we are only at the start. I am begging people, please please do social distancing and self isolation #covid19
Here's a quick example of what mobile positioning data can do based on a model from historical movement flows. The map depicts places visited by Day 11* by people who were in Kuressaare (where a cluster for COVID-19 was found on 4 March) on Day 0.

deCODE genetics is has stepped up to assist with covid19 screening in Iceland. Started last Friday and have completed 1800 tests and are operating at a rate of 1000 tests per day. That’s 0.3% of the population per day. https://t.co/96MVd3drUQ
Together with a team of genetic counselors, physicians, and laboratory geneticists,
we are excited to announce the launch of a new Preventive Genomics Clinic at MGH!

Can we detect genes associated with #penicillinallergy using self-reported data & electronic health records? YES, when combining data & efforts in @ESTbiobank@uk_biobank and the research cohort of @23andMe 🙌
Do you want to work in a rapidly growing field that is advancing healthcare and improving the lives of patients, families and communities? Hear from medical geneticists why they love what they do https://t.co/on71s2v2OI #MedicalGeneticsAwareness#FutureGeneticsProfessional
“Even if you've never personally had a genetic test or bought a test, if you're biologically related to somebody who has then their data will be online somewhere.” We spoke to @Genomethics about consumer genetic testing. Catch up now! With @GenSocUK https://t.co/YIxYcZtg6I
