The utility of gene sequencing in identifying an underlying genetic disorder in prenatally suspected lower urinary tract obstruction - Brar - Prenatal Diagnosis - Wiley Online Library obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… Should we be sequencing all cases of fetal LUTO?

How can labs reduce the number of VUS reported in genetic testing? Exome and genome sequencing have lower VUS numbers compared to multi-gene panel tests. Heidi Rehm bit.ly/47LdM0K

Officially a board certified OBGYN! Big thanks to my family, and my residency and fellowship colleagues for all the support I couldn’t have done it without you ✔️ OBGYN Board Certification 🔜 MFM Board Certification 🔜 ABMGG Clinical Genetics Board Certification American Board of Obstetrics & Gynecology (ABOG)

Congrats to my guy and one of the best mentors around Brian Iriye on his lifetime achievement award from smfm! Much deserved and much respect

Enjoying all the genetics fun at the ACMG annual meeting #acmg2024

Early important findings from IDENTIFY: 49% detection rate for those who met inclusion! Lymphomas made up 60 % of cancers detected, with most being early stage; when colon cancer detected almost all were stage 4. Whole body MRI performs best in diagnostic work up #acmg2024

Omission of critical information, overstating a negative result, overinterpreting an uncertain result or failing to disclose negative secondary findings. Who’s making these major and minor league errors? #GeneticCounselors or #Neonatologists bit.ly/3WLuat4

RIP to a gem of a man! Coach D lived in my building and was always so kind to me and my family. Will miss our chats and his positive energy 🙏

A department of discovery! #mfmgenetics youtu.be/L9Z2ZYM_doY

One in every three counties in the US does not have a single ob/gyn, and it's affecting women's access to care, a new report warns cnn.it/4gkiFSn

In a new study, 77% of couples identified as having an increased risk of having a child with an autosomal recessive or X-linked condition used or planned to use reproductive interventions. Read the full study results: nej.md/3YY6FhH

Screening for secondary findings beyond the ACMG v3.2 list yields promising results in an adult cancer cohort, prompting clinical management changes in 28% of cases bit.ly/4gds5yZ #GenomicScreening #Pharmacogenomics

Why do some parents refuse genetic testing for their sick newborns? 1) Don't see how it will help their baby right away, and 2) Worry about getting scary news. Considering their perspectives can inform guidance on educating families bit.ly/4g8rPkA Katharine Press Callahan, MD, MSME #GIMO

gofund.me/9a8d183b Please consider helping a member of the greater MFM community who is in a really tough situation if you are able to 🙏

A great honor today to present our groups work on exploring genetic etiologies of bilateral renal agenesis! Bottom line: diagnostic yield may be as high as 20%, and consideration should be given to NGS, even when BRA is isolated in nature #smfm2025 #mfmgenetics Johns HopkinsGynOB

Amazing work in the PRIME trial by my OG mentor and past SMFM president Brian Iriye SMFM

LFG!!!!!!!!!

A case of twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). Note that the recipient twin (arm visible) is free floating in excess amniotic fluid, while the donor twin (feet visible) is ‘stuck’ behind the collapsed dividing membranes due to lack of amniotic fluid. #FetalSurgery #TTTS

Passed my Genetics Boards and I am officially a board certified clinical geneticist! Thank you God + my Hopkins genetics family🙏 ✔️ OBGYN Board Certification ✔️ABMGG Clinical Genetics Board Certification 🔜 MFM Board Certification #aimingforthattriplecrown #striveforgreatness
