this is NOVEL and very intriguing: we identified a common sequence alteration that predicts the stability of the adjacent tandem repeat locus of one of the major genetic ataxia loci, FGF14/SCA27B.

CFV: common 5’-flanking variant
Pretty cool as a still relatively recent addition to the team to clearly see the impact that @C4RCanada has had over the past decade, and continues to have every day. Honoured to get to play even a teeny part in it - congrats on 10 years! 🎉
A decade of @C4RCanada and a decade of finding answers for families! Check out the full publication and read about just some of the successes of this program here: https://t.co/pLztLVhtNk
Been quiet on here since I’ve been so caught up in the excitement of #ASHG2022! Come say hi @ poster # 2322 to learn about how we used @PacBio long read seq to uncover an intronic SVA insertion associated with an unsolved 46,XY disorder of sexual development with @C4RCanada 🙋🏻♀️
@SamanthaLWilson@McMasterOBGYN@machealthsci Congratulations Sam, this is incredible news!! They are lucky to have you! So excited for you, I can’t wait to see the awesome work that will come out of the Wilson lab! (ah!!) 😍
Hey hi hello @ubc twitter! One such graduate here who would love the opportunity to wear her UBC colours! 🙋🏻♀️ If you or anyone you know owns UBC PhD regalia and are willing to lend it for use Friday, I would be eternally grateful 🙏🏻 @wprobins27 @BCCHRTrainees@SamanthaLWilson
Well it’s been a minute, but I’m so happy to share that I’ll be starting as a Post-Doctoral Fellow with the @C4RCanada team at @CHEO today! Excited to continue my genetics journey and contribute to improving diagnosis and care for individuals with rare diseases! ☺️🧬
Grateful for events like today’s panel discussion of @PictureaSciFilm. Thank you so much @DrLoriBrotto, @wprobins27, Teresa Liu-Ambrose, and Veronica Hirsch for creating a space for important discussion and inspiring fellow #WomenInScience. A few takeaways to think about 🧵:
So very thrilled about this 🥰 I have been so lucky to work with and learn from some incredible people in the @Robinson_Lab@BCCHresearch and beyond over the course of my PhD and could not have done it without the support of this great community! #PhDone 🎉
