But the real bottleneck to scaling this up?
➡️ Our ability to counsel and consent patients properly.
➡️ Ensuring families understand the implications — for themselves & for their wider family - that's why I'm choosing #GeneticCounsellors for the WIN. 🧵 3/3

Genomics has already transformed nephrology.
✅ We know which patients benefit
✅ We’ve got extensive gene panels
✅ Testing is affordable or funded in many countries
It’s precision medicine in action — and it's here now.
