#RareDiseaseDay There are over 6,000 rare diseases affecting more than 500,000 Belgians. Let's unite in spreading awareness, advocating for change, and supporting those navigating the unique challenges of rare diseases. #DeelJeKleuren #PartageTesCouleurs #raresensemble

Today is #RareDiseaseDay! As part of a collection from BMC & Springer Nature (go.nature.com/3IjIcLM), three of our reviews will be free for 2 weeks! #RareDiseaseDay2024

We advocate for equity in healthcare and access to treatments for those living with rare diseases. Genetic research plays a vital role in advancing treatments and diagnostics. Let's make a difference in the lives of millions.🌍#RareDiseaseDay #ASHG rarediseaseday.org

Fits perfectly with #RareDiseaseDay #ShareYourColours 👌

Too few women are submitting research to Nature as corresponding authors. This week’s editorial looks at the data behind the unacceptably low numbers of papers from women senior authors in Nature #womeninSTEM nature.com/articles/d4158…

When determining whether a particular variant is likely pathogenic, which search tool provides the best results for researchers and clinicians? The March GenePod features a discussion about how four resources reward different search strategies: bit.ly/48HPN1v #datamining

New #EditorsChoice: Genome-wide sequencing such as exome sequencing (ES) or genome sequencing (GS) may be more effective (and cost less!) than conventional diagnostic pathways in diagnosing children with neurodevelopmental disorders bit.ly/3sW2eId

Researchers have found the oldest known sex chromosome in animals — the octopus Z chromosome — which first evolved in an ancient ancestor of octopuses around 380 million years ago go.nature.com/4a80fkd

Registration is open (also for researchers from the neighbouring countries).

🎯 Our approach revealed a diagnosis in 73%. We reported non-syndromic RIMS2-IRD. We found a retina-enriched RIMS2 isoform conserved but not annotated in mouse and report two novel candidate IRD genes. 👏👏 👏Marta Delpo Dr. Basamat Almoallem | د. بسمات المعلم 🧬👁 & team ClinGenetNews #IRD #RIMS2 #isoform
