Deletions in a gene (𝘊𝘏𝘈𝘚𝘌𝘙𝘙) that encodes a long noncoding RNA cause severe developmental delay and an increase in expression of a neighboring gene, 𝘊𝘏𝘋2. Read the Brief Report: https://t.co/CGJBEJsLWz

Excited to report our study in @NEJM on the discovery of deletions in a long noncoding RNA gene 🧬 (𝘊𝘏𝘈𝘚𝘌𝘙𝘙) as the cause of a newly defined human neurodevelopmental disorder 🧠. 🧵1/10 https://t.co/a0V99Xqjaw

Currently I’m ~$400 short from reaching my fundraising goal of $1750. If you’d consider donating, it’d mean a lot to me and go a long way in helping families be together during hard times 💜

For the past 4 mos I’ve been training for the Chicago Marathon, which has been a dream/challenge of mine since I’ve started my training @NUMSTP. I’ll be running for Ronald McDonald House Chicago, a group that provides housing/meals for families when their child is hospitalized.

As an MD/PhD student studying rare pediatric diseases, I’ve been deeply impacted by the stories of the challenges families face while seeking care for their children and want to do more to help relieve their financial/emotional burden.

Will try my best to fill in the big role!! We already miss you big time!

I know that the snacks are in great hands with the newly coronated Snack Empress @yooonest, and I’m delighted @CGBiar will move in to the HCHCLFGSMB

Thank you to the organizers for an amazing inaugural @curechd2 conference. Such a special time getting to know the families and learning about all the cool ongoing scientific work! I’m back in lab more motivated than ever to help find a cure for CHD2!

[Coalition to Cure CHD2 @curechd2]

Many people had already left when these pictures were taken, but wow. Incredibly blown away by the number of people who came, the deep connections we all made and the sheer sense of pride we all felt at the end. #curechd2

Grateful to have worked on this paper with awesome colleagues at @NUMSTP @NUFeinbergMed . Go give it a read!!

[Manuel Torres Acosta (he/him) @ManuelTorresAc2]

Happy to share our recently-published literature review authored by myself, NUMSTP colleagues, and @ArdehaliHossein on the impact URM and marginalized identity status has on MD-PhD student experiences and academic outcomes.
