San Diego colleagues! Our next #GrandRounds is 8/28, featuring Jaime Barea, MD, FACMG of @myDNAfeed & Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego. He’ll speak on “Bridging Between Direct-To-Consumer & Clinical-Grade Genomics.” #dna #genomics #GenomicMedicine bit.ly/2PfeJGu

Great turn-out for #GrandRounds with Jaime J. Barea, MD, FACMG of Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego and @myDNAfeed. He talked about the value of expert interpretation & analysis of genomic results and the difference between clinical grade testing & retail genomic kits. #genomics #GenomicMedicine

We are delighted to be collaborating with Ali Torkamani and Scripps Research Translational Institute team on this cardiac disease PRS project. And hope for a future where every genetic research project incorporates genetic counseling as a norm, not an exception!

#Geneticcounseling can be just as critical to incorporate in research settings as it is in clinical settings, and we see evidence of this in collaborations like this one with Scripps Research Translational Institute. Especially with these more sophisticated & nuanced #polygenicriskscoring approaches.

Curious about how to generate clinician voice models? Come listen to our talk about AI-powering your clinicians at Precision Medicine World Conference in Santa Clara, this Friday, or contact us to schedule some time to meet!

Maybe PRS scores really can change behavior? Doctor thought patient would have low heart disease risk score... only to discover it's actually high. Patient tells #geneticcounselor, "I guess I should exercise and watch diet now!" #DNAvisit #GCchat @scrippsRTI Ali Torkamani

Our #GeneticCounselors are educating patients on CYP2D6 and how it impacts their codeine tolerance. Did you know, non-genetic factors and #variants in other #genes may also play a role? #DNAVisit #geneticcounseling #pharmacogenomics @ncbibooks ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK10066…

Think pharmacogenomics #PGx is as personalized as it gets? Wait until this type of personalization makes it into the clinic. Will make for an interesting #DNAVisit !

While there can indeed be tension between 'Precision Medicine' and 'Population Health' approaches, with our genetic testing partners, we find there is a way to apply both concurrently, that takes into account the varying levels of effectiveness..

Breast cancer only in women? Think again! While less common for men, it happens more often in the presence of certain cancer predisposition genes. Assessing and understanding ones family history can have a significant impact on risk assessment. #Genetics #Cancer #GCchat #health

We find this to be so true! And by enabling a PharmD or GC to give them a helping hand, these same providers ultimately become the biggest PGx champions in their medical practice..

We couldn't agree more! Post-test care is arguably just as important as the test itself, if not more important!

It's here! MyGeneRank study results: 1,000's of people received their personal #CAD #polygenic risk score... A high #genetic risk score led to a: - *2X* lipid lowering initiation rate vs low #genetic risk - No health risk anxiety Read more 👇 medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

first publication of 2023 🙌🏼 so proud of UNCG Genetic Counseling Program alum Cari Koerner for publishing her Capstone work. many thanks to DNAvisit for their collaboration. #GeneChat onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jg…

Nice coverage for Cari Koerner UNCG Research & publication in journal of #geneticcounseling about our digital chat tool. While we primarily utilize it for non-DTC purposes and often in more synchronous manner, it's nice to see the DTC use-case discussed in such detail!
