Excellent session @Preventable_EU Midterm Conference! Great talk by Dr. @yasminaokan on the challenges and recommendations for cancer risk communication. Also, great suggestions on effective visual representation of cumulative risk!

[eshg_young @eshg_young]

It has been a while since #eshg2024 in Berlin. Still, we would like to acknowledge @eshgsociety for supporting us to represent the young human #genetics generation! Thank you all who met us & joined our activities! We are looking forward to #eshg2025 in Milan 🧬

[Carla Oliveira’s Lab @COliveiraLabi3S]

Huge pleasure to have the input of HDGC patients on the development of the latest HDGC guidelines. More than numbers and samples, it is important to remember for whom we work everyday, for life-saving measures and overall better quality of life.

[rita.matos @ritabmatos]

The founder CDH1 families that were the focus of my PhD shared their impactful HDGC stories. Such an honor to do research with them & for them! Don't miss the chance to watch it 👌

[i3S-Instituto de Investigação e Inovação em Saúde @i3S_UPorto]

Don't miss this work from Público on the Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer syndrome, its impact on the lives of patients and the power of science.

Such a clear presentation, great work @Rbn_Hfmstr! For all @eshg_young check it to see how to present complex concepts in a simple and effective way!

[Juliana Miranda Cerqueira @NutriGenome]

In room 6/7, C28 Machine learning and Statistic, an impressive talk from Robbin Hofmeister @zkutalik group, early career award candidate, talking about inferring non-transmited alleles from close relatives and their further effects on offspring education by using MR. #eshg2024

@JamesFasham @carolinefwright Great thread James thank you!!!

[Kaitlin Samocha @ksamocha]

So glad @JamesFasham was covering this session! Excellent talk from @carolinefwright. Read the thread for more info! #eshg2024

[Juliana Miranda Cerqueira @NutriGenome]

Learn from the @eshgsociety SM co-chairs @aleenamolbio and @JamesFasham how to use social media to better communicate science! 🧬The workshop is happening now at Sequencing Square, from 14:00-15:30. #eshg2024

Check some of the highlighted sessions from @eshg_young committee for the second day of #eshg2024 conference. #genetics #genomics

[rita.matos @ritabmatos]

@StadlerZsofia sharing a very important message regarding early onset cancer and its association with mutations on high and moderate penetrant genes. Reminding that precision oncology also includes germline cancer risk assessment #eshg2024

[rita.matos @ritabmatos]

@LValleResearch @eshgsociety @MaxTamlander Great session and much needed topic!

[rita.matos @ritabmatos]

If you are on #ESHG2024 Let's meet on June 3 from 13:00-14:00 😃

[Carla Oliveira’s Lab @COliveiraLabi3S]

🧬 How can we improve cancer risk estimates for genetic syndromes? These data have a huge impact on carriers' decisions on risk-reducing surgeries. Check our work on CDH1 families carrying a specific variant & matched regional population incidence. Join @ritabmatos! #eshg2024
