@esineerdogan I am so proud of you! 👏🏻 🎉

[Kimberly Aldinger, PhD @kaaldinger]

@KarinaYaniv Wow. It has never occurred to me to contact conference organizers to ask to be invited or that other ppl do this! Thank you for opening my eyes and for lifting up women!

[Kimberly Aldinger, PhD @kaaldinger]

@OnceUponAGene @combined_brain Awesome. Looking forward to it!

[Kimberly Aldinger, PhD @kaaldinger]

@OnceUponAGene @combined_brain Staff in the OR have their time accounted for. So need to make it as easy as possible for them to help. (Person holding open tube waiting to collect sample, which often needs some additional processing that requires time, tubes, equipment, etc).

@OnceUponAGene @combined_brain Where are the boxes, who fills them with ice, where is the ice, how long does it take to t walk to get the ice, who pays for the ice, who pays for the shipping?

[Kimberly Aldinger, PhD @kaaldinger]

@OnceUponAGene I offer this not as justification, but items that need cost consideration

[Kimberly Aldinger, PhD @kaaldinger]

@OnceUponAGene 💰, lack of researcher involvement, alters workflow. Storing samples costs $ (personnel, tubes, freezer space, database support/management, etc).

[Kimberly Aldinger, PhD @kaaldinger]

Yes! Genetics first 👇🏻

[Effie Parks @OnceUponAGene]

Parents, if your child is showing signs of global developmental delay, seizures, hypotonia, spasticity, feeding difficulties, missed milestones, or microcephaly, don’t let the system waste your time.

Doctors often want to start with an MRI and delay genetic testing - but that approach can cost you valuable time, better treatment options and community.

Advocate for a Whole Exome Sequencing test first. Request the WES immediately, and while you’re waiting for the results, go ahead and schedule the MRI. The MRI is important, but it won’t give you the genetic answers you need to guide your child’s care and future treatments.

Request a WES - Nothing Less

@ChristelDepienn It was a great meeting and terrific to connect with you again!

[Kimberly Aldinger, PhD @kaaldinger]

Great to connect with colleagues from around the globe with cool science this week #ASHG24. Off to #ICAR2024 next week!

@MariyaSweetwyne WHAT? That makes zero sense.

[Kimberly Aldinger, PhD @kaaldinger]

@BainBrainLab @s_searchlight Not surprised. "Motor signs" have been reported in ASD for years (below table from 2009 PMID: 19630577). Great to have some more concrete data!!
