This recent #GIMO commentary explains the importance of international, locally-focused and patient-oriented genetic counseling, as well as why and how to promote it bit.ly/4h6aOsj #GeneticCounseling @GCMoniSeb @NourChanouha @GCGraceK @furqanaisha @dinaalaeddin
ALT Screenshot of Box 1: ● What would be the foundational principles and practices of genetic counseling service, research, education, and training? ● When developing a training program, what would be the most important courses and what qualifications, skills, and experiences would one look for in faculty, clinical supervisors, and applicants? ● How would the practice be integrated within their healthcare system and what would the scope of practice of a genetic counselor be within that healthcare system? ● What would be the most important issues to address in a Genetic Counseling Code of Ethics? ● With which professionals and community members would one consult concerning these questions and the more specific topics we now discuss?

Did you know that it is estimated that there are only 6,500 genetic counselors and 1,300 medical geneticists in North America? Outside of a limited workforce, there are additional barriers at several stages to patients getting appropriate genetics care.

This is as close as our group could get to a how-to guide for studies of the environment and #epigenetics
Don't forget DNA sequence variation. Look for transcription factor and cell signalling effects.

New work shows Genome Sequencing may yield 2-fold higher diagnoses in children with suspected genetic disorders compared to Targeted Gene Panels...
BUT, only in European-American and Hispanic/Latino(a) children, not yet in African-American children..1/n
