The current model of patient-initiated recontact undermines the potential for reanalysis to rectify inequities in genetic testing. 🧬. It's time for a systematic approach. 🖥️. Pleased to (belatedly) share reflections from @HannanehF, Lauren Chad, and me:

If the population at large is to benefit from advances in genomic medicine, genetics services cannot do this alone. Cross-jurisdictional (🇨🇦🤝🇦🇺) thoughts from friends (@drbelindadawson, @ClaraGaff, @RobinHayeems, Emma Weisz) and me in @ejhg_journal:

👇🏼 a thoughtful must-read in @TheLancet for all of those involved in genomic medicine, from some of the most thoughtful people involved in genomic medicine.
Today in the @TheLancet, we UK geneticists argue: "Population screening requires robust evidence—genomics is no exception".@annekeluc, @HelenVFirth, @GeneticBill, @carolinefwright, @mgtmccartney, @wilkie_lab, @RobinLachmann,@group_tomlinson,@lucymedgen

As we refine #recontact practices in clinical genetics the (in)equity implications of a shared model of responsibility must be considered. The current model is falling short--potentially failing those that could need it most. Our thoughts in @ejhg_journal:

Incredibly important and timely report on self-managed abortion in Canada from @julianne_s9 @jennlmtaylor @LEAFNational. Take a look and share!👇🏼. (Full disclosure: @julianne_s9 is my amazing wife, but that doesn’t make this report any less important).
What is self-managed abortion (SMA), and what is the legal landscape for SMA in Canada?. For analysis of these issues and more, check out this new report by @jennlmtaylor & @julianne_s9, published with LEAF. Illustrations by @OliviaPiccolo1 . Full report:

Reflecting this AM on the intimate relationship between governance and health. Feeling grateful for the current situation and leadership in #AtlanticCanada, mindful of the hard work and tradeoffs that got us here, but also reminded that things can change so quickly. #COVID19.

Important statement from @TheACMG on DNA-based screening + #populationhealth. . Reminders: .- ACMG #secondaryfindings guidance ≠ primary health screening strategy; .- Population-level penetrance data still lacking; .- Efforts to reduce disparities needed.
