Moderating the Broad Institute #RareDiseaseDay panel was an honor. There was so much I took away from this event but I absolutely agree with these top 3. #partnerwithpatients

With loss of function (LoF) variation, all may not be as it seems. Led by Moriel Singer-Berk, Sanna Gudmundsson, and Heidi Rehm, we advanced the framework, from Richards et al and Abou Tayoun et al, for using PVS1 for pLoF variants in pathogenicity classification. AJHG 1/

An inspiring piece by Tania Simoncelli highlighting what is able to be achieved when you put patients at the center of research! I am forever inspired by the #rareasone groups and will always be grateful for the opportunity to work with them

#gnomad v4 is finally live! 3 years of work and it’s finally here!!! Now the fun part begins. I can’t wait to dive in and see what the power of this dataset can do…well…maybe first some sleep…but then my 2nd favorite thing, kicking off some long awaited analyses #genechat

gnomAD 4.1 is now live! This release fixes the AN issue in #gnomAD v4.0 & adds 2 new functionalities: 1) Joint AN across all called sites in exomes and genomes 2) A flag indicating when exomes and genomes frequencies are highly discordant Learn more at broad.io/gnomad_v4-1
