This is so cool - a remarkably frequent mutation in a non-protein-coding RNA gene, which causes around one in every 200 currently undiagnosed cases of developmental delay around the world (including 8 Australian families so far!). A couple of thoughts (1/3)

We ♥️ libraries 📚! And we were so proud to be a partner in the first-of-its-kind Pan-Canadian Genome Library. With investment from CIHR the library will serve the future of genomics and precision health in this country. shorturl.at/joILU
