@springer1842.bsky.social sent me a SpotifyWrapped-equivalent year in review as a journal Reviewer. Nice reminder of the impact reviewing has. Grateful my work with @dannyvesprini.bsky.social keeps me relevant academically in the world of #prostatecancer #genetics #genechat.

@theacmg.bsky.social dropped ATM GPV review and management guidelines. My takeaways are evidence for more aggressive prostate ca, emerging evidence for stomach ca risk, ATM c.7271T>C shows higher risk for breast ca pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39636577/ #genechat #cancergenetics #prostatecancer
Management of individuals with heterozygous germline pathogenic variants in ATM: A clinical practice resource of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) - PubMed
Systematic prospective data collection is needed to establish the spectrum of ATM-associated cancer and determine the outlines of surveillance, response to cancer treatment, and survival.

I came across the acronym GPV for germline pathogenic variant. I like it. We sacrifice conciseness for clarity. To “yes, and…” this, how would you incorporate likely pathogenic variants? G(L)PV? Or does this look too much like a math equation now? #genechat #humangenetics

Hey there #geneticounselor colleagues,

Student survey alert: if you saw a HBOC patient in the past month, consider giving the altruistic gift of your time to complete this survey on use of gendered language in cancer care. Link here: redcap.utoronto.ca/surveys/?s=9...
