Presence can not be determined from just a genetic test alone. #prescottgenomics

https://t.co/RninkHcTvj my project I chose to do essential tremor. I think there was a number of things I was surprised by mostly boiling down to a lack of answers about the disease despite how long we've known about it. There is no one gene or set of genes known to cause or

Play a role in Essential tremor. There is a a result also no genetic test that can be taken even for risk assessment. While genome sequencing can be done but since the disease has so many genes that could possibly be playing a role but are not fully understood risk or disease

Learning the identity of a genetic relative and some reported finding out things about their family such as being conceived by don't that they did not know. However, a larger percentage reported positive or neutral impacts on life over negative impact #prescottgenomics

[Taylor Lawrence @TaylorLUNHM]

This survey to me really raises some privacy concerns about DTC genetic testing that I wish the privacy policies of the companies we looked at in class had addressed but didn't seem to. While half of the respondents said they took a test out of pure curiosity over 80% reported

One of the largest studies on direct-to-consumer genetic testing experiences and outcomes, led by our researchers, found that discoveries about relatives are quite common and the consequences of those discoveries can be far reaching. #BCMResearch https://t.co/Sakz2yWT5S

This relates to my topic because it is a new treatment alternative for patient's specifically for those who medication is not currently helping, which can be caused by genetic factors.

https://t.co/X5zuRGq8EK is the article I read relating to my topic of essential tremor. The main takeaway from this would be that a non invasive treatment focused ultrasound thalamotomy successfully can reduce the shaking in an ET patient's hands. #prescottgenomics

@Firesta85432276 Have a bunch of information in a quick, easy and accessible format #prescottgenomics

[Taylor Lawrence @TaylorLUNHM]

@Firesta85432276 I find it amazing they have it on their website that you can upload, download or even get an analysis tool for genetic information you already have. I wonder if this is a sign that someday you can just order your genome to be sequenced and run it through software at home and just

@ensembl is where this is from I found this interesting because my dad has been living with essential tremor and there is a 50% chance I may have it as well and it is really the only reason I've considered sequencing my genome to find out about risk to myself or future children

[Taylor Lawrence @TaylorLUNHM]

This is the variant table for essential tremor. A neurological condition similar to Parkinson's that also causes shaking in the voice box, hands or posture. #prescottgenomics

[Taylor Lawrence @TaylorLUNHM]

This is really interesting because cancer, especially rare cancer is something you really can't waste time treating and the more we understand different cancers the faster they can be effectively treated with less trial and error. #prescottgenomics

@_RachelAnastasi @BGI_Genomics Is the non- invasive prenatal screening, cell free testing, like in the TED talk we watched this week? #prescottgenomics

@PGorg is a not for profit organization aiming to break down some of the barriers to genetic research in multiple countries. Encouraging individuals to publicly share their genome and giving them access to the research done with their genome.
