How are researchers using genomic data to discover rare genetic conditions? At our Genomic Innovators Seminar, Jessica Chong and Melissa Haendel will discuss how researchers can use data to discover hundreds of genomic variants associated with rare diseases and improve disease diagnoses.

Do you, or your child, have a deletion or duplication at 16p11.2 or 22q11.2 and are aged 7 years or older? An #SKResearch study is looking to explore how these #GeneticVariants may influence your behaviour and how your brain works. To learn more visit ➡️ bit.ly/3UXBn6q

Delighted our big DDD paper is now out describing more than a decade of work finding rare genetic disorders. Huge thanks to everyone involved – scientists, bioinformaticians, clinicians, genetic counsellors, research nurses, funders, patients & families. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Today is #rarechromoday - a day to celebrate all those living with rare #chromosome and #gene disorders & their families, and to raise awareness. Share our posts, wear blue & yellow & let's loudly and proudly celebrate Uniqueness! #genomics #genetics

With Dr. Stephen Scherer The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) in Genetics in Medicine, we reflected on the concept “syndromic ASD” and its corollary distinction between “syndromic and non-syndromic ASD genes” #autism authors.elsevier.com/a/1hTg73vlFV0S… [1/7]

An EEG biomarker could reveal whether a potential treatment for dup15q syndrome has reached its intended molecular target in the brain. That and more in this month's Going on Trial. bit.ly/3LrWT1B

Our researchers are constantly unlocking new secrets of rare and complex illnesses as their understanding of the genetics behind these diseases advances. Learn more about this rapidly developing research in this nature article. ms.spr.ly/60179L89J

Despite the prevalence, substantial morbidity, and availability of clinical testing, 22q11.2DS, previously known as DiGeorge syndrome or velo-cardio-facial syndrome, remains largely unrecognized in adults by both health care providers and society at large. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Congrats to Dr. Anne Bassett, who has been appointed to the Order of Canada for her remarkable career in #schizophrenia and #genetics, including her work studying the first genetic subtype of #schizophrenia. The #OrderOfCanada is the 2nd highest civilian honour for merit.

Job Alert! Looking for clinical research fellows to study rare #neurogenetic conditions. Great opportunity to work with an exceptional team of #neurologists and #geneticists at Boston Children's.

1/ Very happy to share our review in molecularpsychiatry , together with Jonathan Sebat, Sebastien Jacquemont and Raphael Bourque: rdcu.be/dSupc The role of genetic testing is shifting from explaining to predicting neurodevelopmetal and neuropsychiatric conditions.

In a fly's brain, there are some 140,000 neurons that connect via 54.5 million synapses. Researchers have now mapped *all of them*. That and more of the best in Science Magazine and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: science.org/content/articl… Vid: Tyler Sloan/FlyWire
