#Duchennemusculardystrophy affects ~2 in 10,000 boys, yet #diagnosis in the U.S. still comes later, around age 5. #Newbornscreening can help catch #DMD earlier when #care & emerging #therapies can make the biggest difference.

#Metachromatic #leukodystrophy (#MLD) is rare—1 in 100,000 births—but devastating if missed. A new two-tier #newbornscreen can catch it early, enabling #genetherapy that improves #survival & motor #outcomes. #pediatric #genomics #rarediseases

Do investigators have obligations to the relatives of genomic research participants who have a significant result? We explored cascade screening across the clinical-research divide in focus groups with clinicians, patient representatives, and ELSI scholars. www.gimopen.org/article/S294...

Genetic results are important for both patients and their biological relatives. However, cascade screening (CS) uptake is low, especially when testing occurs through research programs and not clinical...

Glad to see ACMG stepping up to support the continuation of evidence-based reviews to inform national newborn screening recommendations after termination of the federal advisory committee
In response to the #ACHDNC dissolution, ACMG is organizing a new advisory framework for #newbornscreening, starting with a virtual stakeholder roundtable this summer. Outreach to key groups begins soon. More to come. bit.ly/3IngaCi #MedicalGenetics #RUSP #PublicHealth

It was wonderful to have @sallysansom.bsky.social visit with us at @cherpdpm.bsky.social & the Precision Medicine Translational Research (PROMoTeR) Center and learn more about her work to advance rigor of patient-centered outcome measurement in #genomics and #raredisease!
(1/5) I recently returned from a 1-month research visit at the @deptpopmed.bsky.social within @harvardmed.bsky.social‬, generously hosted by @hadleyssmith.bsky.social and her team. This visit was an exciting opportunity to build on our collaboration and to advance core components of my PhD.
