How has @helenwsantoro lived a normal life while missing a major part of her brain? This is a fascinating story.
Calling #RareDisease patients and families — here's a chance to share your insurance denial stories with investigative journalists and hopefully generate some change 👇 @NeenaNizar @lukebrosen @kat_atchley @SLC6A1_Mom @OnceUponAGene @RarePOV @jerryw1976 @LostTexanInGA @Manuel94
The good people at @propublica are putting together a project about health insurance denials. They are collecting stories. They came to the right corner of twitter for stories. You can tell yours at the link below. propublica.org/getinvolved/in…
SCOOP: Top antiabortion leaders and GOP lawmakers have been meeting behind the scenes to strategize for a national abortion ban, mobilizing around a proposal that would outlaw the procedure at 6 weeks. Here’s what I’ve learned about their plans 🧵washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/05…
@platzer_k @GeneMatcher @MatchMExchange @Solve_RD @decipher_wtsi @PhenomeCentral @PhenomCentral MyGene2 does not allow gene-only submissions for this reason.
@platzer_k @GeneMatcher @MatchMExchange @Solve_RD @decipher_wtsi @PhenomeCentral The @MatchMExchange protocol already supports gene name + inheritance + phenotype and almost all nodes of MME incl @MyGene2 @GeneMatcher @decipher_wtsi @PhenomCentral @Solve_RD support those… but most users don’t bother/don’t want to submit

Our paper on global public attitudes towards genomics and data sharing. We need to take urgent steps to authentically communicate why genomic research is necessary and how data sharing is integral to this. Outside of the genomics world, no one knows this! cell.com/ajhg/fulltext/…

How is #COVID19 impacting the #RareDisease community? To find out, the @NIH-funded @rarediseasesnet developed a survey. See the responses so far with our interim results dashboard: rarediseasesnetwork.org/survey-results…
@younghe57 We encourage her to create a MyGene2 profile with her genetic information and link to her Facebook page from it. FB pages are not great for families and researchers who need to search and compile info across multiple patients

The @UW @Dohertylab is looking to collect info about anyone with JS who has tested positive for coronavirus so they can learn more about how it affects people with JS/give us better recommendations. If that's you or your child, you can help! To learn more, email joubert@UW.edu.
My hope is that #COVID shifts our culture and mindset about data sharing once and for all. Data belongs to the patient. Data should not be hoarded for commercial gain. Data should be governed by policies that protect the patient. Data should be used for the benefit of all.
Its finally out: Tackling the big gap of knowledge for most rare disorders -> Our incidence estimate for hundreds (to thousands) of de novo variant associated disorders. Open access of course: academic.oup.com/brain/advance-… @CCLRI @ClevelandClinic

You can help researchers and other families with #RareDisease by sharing your genetic variants and symptoms so others can learn from them. Our site helps you know what to share and helps you connect: mygene2.org
