Just received an email alert from Nucleus that my kids would be at higher risk for SMA but my risk is undetermined. They’re now talking about carrier risk based solely on reported ancestry just to seem like it’s new data. This is bananas.

@FDAWhistleblow1 100% it’s already been used for FDA registration studies. Specifically combining ph2+ph3 data to reduce placebo effect and make a drug look more effective than it was. This drug was approved and is currently available based on this approach.
