Me: how do patients not understand that something with a 2% risk can still happen

Also me: how the f*k is it possibly raining when my phone says 10% chance

[Andria Besser @DriaBess]

I’m thrilled to share this @ASRM_org opinion that details both technical and clinical aspects of #PGT-M; an essential resource for anyone who offers this testing. Grateful to my GCPG co-authors for making it happen! #IVF #GeneChat https://t.co/itMWTJv9Ef

@LGtheCGC @obgenetics @nyulangone Literally everyone 😭

Debates in Reproductive Genetics. Pro: Allow transfer of affected embryos. Conditions and landscape of #PGT-M has changed. Families doing PGT-A also. Difficult to obtain an unaffected embryo. What is acceptable and “affected?” A Besser @nyulangone #acmgmtg23 #IVF 1/4

[Andria Besser @DriaBess]

A must-read for everyone involved in PGT-A ordering and results interpretation…

Story of my life 😂😂

[Jacquelynn Berton, MS, CGC @wavymustardgc]

MD notes: “patient has family history of a disorder, recommend testing the gene”

Also MD notes: “The patient and her husband are doing well. They have added a new snake to their family, which now includes 4 varying species of python. The newest one is named Pineapple.”

Important thread about PRS in the context of preconception/preimplantation testing

[Pete Kraft @GENES_PK]

As a genetic epidemiologist who has helped develop polygenic risk scores (PRS) for common, multifactoral diseases, I have... thoughts on the launch of a company to provide pre-pregnancy counseling & preimplantation screening based on these PRS. 🧵https://t.co/G6UoWSKNZn
