"For diseases like EDS, those illnesses so ignored or misunderstood that patients can barely find a knowledgeable doctor, much less the genetic source of their condition, it may require those with intimate, untapped knowledge — patients themselves — to shepherd science forward."
Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes are connective tissue disorders — previously considered rare, now increasingly seen as neglected — w/ a fraught history. This is about #EDS patient-researchers using their expertise and ire to fight back, to forge ahead. NEW: statnews.com/2022/12/12/ehl…
My mom’s story has long made me feel weird about my place in the abortion conversation. But, my disability is actually not a weapon against abortion access, like I have been made to believe. It’s an argument for it. My latest for @nytopinion: nytimes.com/2022/07/31/opi…
If anyone wants a quick link to a petition for a call to NSGC to start taking Requests for Proposals from new firms to lobby the US Government for CMS recognition so that we might be able to turn our attention to lobbying for our patients, it's right here: chng.it/rPSbkmc2WD
Just finished @ticktickboom on Netflix. I loved the movie so much and related on such a personal level as I also have Marfan Syndrome, the same condition that caused Jon Larson’s aortic aneurism. @Lin_Manuel I’m sad Marfans wasn’t mentioned but I loved the movie even so💖

You can listen to the new episode of Genotypecast discussing the recent @nytimes article here: anchor.fm/genotypecast/e… @katie_stoll @sarahkliff @aatishb #GCchat #NIPT #geneticcounseling #genetalk #medtwitter #genetictesting
NYT published an article focused on false positive rates in NIPS/NIPT. The reaction on Twitter from genetic counselors was mostly critical. Listen to the new episode of Genotypecast to hear GCs Eleanor Griffith and @katie_stoll discuss the implications of this article. #GCchat

Can’t get my recommended high-risk colonoscopy screening right now because I don’t have $800 toward a deductible lying around. My grandfather was dx at 29 with colon cancer and both my parents have had pre-cancer polyps in their 40s. Yay, American healthcare. 😑
Do you have a personal story related to NIPS / NIPT or other related genetic testing you’d like to share? Send an e-mail to [email protected]
If you can get past the use of the word “wrong” in the context of a screening test… (try subbing “false positive)- this is good article on some of the problems with NIPS tests and their misleading marketing in our profit-driven healthcare system. nytimes.com/2022/01/01/ups…

#gcchat - Please read this article by @_GeorgiaHurst. Are any of you aware of any efforts now to develop tools to help people at genetic risk for ovarian cancer to evaluate the risks, benefits and trade-offs of oophorectomy and the timing of risk-reducing surgery?
