It’s today! Come learn with us about important topics in Preventive Genomic Care!

Our 2023 President Emily Soper is kicking off our first hybrid meeting. There is so much behind the scenes work in the Task Force, and we are working hard to build our wider community in 2023 - share us with your colleagues interested in genetics!

It has come to this. US$0.50 per tablet. So proud to have contributed to the field of #epigenetics

New work shows Genome Sequencing may yield 2-fold higher diagnoses in children with suspected genetic disorders compared to Targeted Gene Panels... BUT, only in European-American and Hispanic/Latino(a) children, not yet in African-American children..1/n gimjournal.org/article/S1098-…

Hello :) GCs celebrating the Indian Independence day and Friendship day miles away from home! Join us for our next social hour on Aug 16th from 7.30p to 8.30p EST to share your fond memories and build a community of support. DM me for ZOOM link :)

This is as close as our group could get to a how-to guide for studies of the environment and #epigenetics Don't forget DNA sequence variation. Look for transcription factor and cell signalling effects. @_jjdubs David A Knowles (@davidaknowles.bsky.social) Sri Raj journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/a…

Our first speaker today is Srilakshmi Raj, PhD, from Albert Einstein, who is talking about genetic disease risk variants in founder populations in NYC

Now we have GC Jessica Giordano from Columbia, a prenatal expert speaking about moving towards genome as a prenatal one-step test

Last for today, we have Nicole Kelly from Montefiore talking about ScreenPlus Pilot Newborn Screening: Latest Developments and Parental Perspectives

John Greally John Greally on BronxNet TV talking about the New York Center for Rare Diseases youtu.be/ySTZPrHljWg?fe… Montefiore Health System Albert Einstein College of Medicine - Official PacBio GeneDx Google Health #Bronx #RareDiseases #HealthDisparities National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD)

Did you know that it is estimated that there are only 6,500 genetic counselors and 1,300 medical geneticists in North America? Outside of a limited workforce, there are additional barriers at several stages to patients getting appropriate genetics care.

Thank you John Greally for a great talk. A recording of his talk will be soon available on the Taskforce website for members
