So wonderful to read - thank you @jimbetto.bsky.social - it encapsulates exactly what gets us up every day at Genomics England

We are so glad to have been part of helping Charlie, your family & the growing ReNU community through the 100K Genomes Project & National Genomic Research Library
My son Charlie was born with a severe learning disability. For 12 years we never knew what was wrong…..then we got a phone call out of the blue….
This weekend I wrote about the amazing scientific discovery that changed our life t.co/URegR0Cpcg

Excited to be here @bsky.app! Mainly to talk genomics and healthcare.

And already on day 1 it has made my day when I stumbled across this from @nickywhiffin.bsky.social about the incredible, and growing, impact of the RNU4-2 discovery earlier this year

Every time I update my slides to talk about RNU4-2 / ReNU syndrome I have to update this screenshot. The group is growing so fast!

It is such a powerful and heartwarming demonstration of the importance of a genetic diagnosis to enable families to find community and support 🥹
