Thank you @cbcwhitecoat for raising public awareness and a better understanding what happens when youth with #disabilities or chronic health conditions transition to adulthood. They &their families have to navigate #transition in multiple systems, incl. #Health #Education #social https://t.co/sE8wTd36B2

Interesting discussion on CBC's The Current... Health and the genome puzzle: Mapping DNA has gotten cheaper, but do we know how to use the data? https://t.co/f0IZglPMwz

[KrisLRoberts @CAUSES_genomics]

"Right now, whole genome testing is most useful for helping unravel the mystery for parents of children with rare disorders; it can provide an answer about the cause, but not necessarily result in better treatment." https://t.co/A12R9sjiAP

@CharMillington Crap, commenting from my professional account. Please ignore. File under "wisdom"...

[KrisLRoberts @CAUSES_genomics]

@CharMillington ...But what is parenting unless "taking advice from someone more messed up than you"?? Maybe we need different categories... like "wisdom" and "crap advice". I know what I teach my kids! They know it too (maybe differently).

“For patients with rare unexplained disorders, genome-wide sequencing can provide much-needed answers but it can also raise a lot of questions. GenCOUNSEL will increase access to #genetic #counselling for all Canadians who need it.”– Dr. Alison M. Elliott https://t.co/4Z0Scjiwdb
