Kym Boycott #ESHG2025 Disease-Gene discoveries are falling 😲 Don't tell DiseaseGenes bot! 🤖 #MorbidGene In all seriousness, I suspect that conditions associated with each gene are growing - we are in a phase of understanding of gene pleiotropy

Now in print - thanks for your work helping patients alistair pagnamenta “Research like this that finds new routes towards more people getting diagnoses is fantastic. It means people can actively try and prevent some of the most dangerous complications of #Marfan syndrome"
