CCLCM Research Day 2026! Had fun discussing the model we built to predict genetic testing outcomes in CKD 🧬🫘

@CamTooDangerous Share with the class?

I just had an idea 🥳

When I trained in genetic counseling nearly 10 years ago, nephrogenetics wasn't a defined specialty. Creating the NSGC Renal SIG allowed us to build an international community which continues to grow today. I'm so grateful to everyone I've learned from- the future is bright! 🧬🫘

The @KidneyFund is hosting their 7th annual Kidney Action Week from March 2-5, and I'm excited to be speaking about nephrology genetic counseling! This is a free virtual event dedicated to education on all things kidney health. bit.ly/kidneyactionwe… #KidneyActionWeek

MYTH: Genetic testing cost is a barrier for patients 🙅🏼‍♀️ Many patients pay little to nothing out of pocket for testing, but may gain huge insights into the cause of their disease 🧬 A genetic counselor can help! #MondayMinuteGKH #GeneticsInKidneyHealth #BeanGenes #Nephrology

A very timely opportunity from an excellent lineup of presenters #BeanGenes

@kidneyfund Congratulations, can't wait!

Barnaby and I are excited about an upcoming new project from the #AmericanKidneyFund. Honored to be part of it. Stay tuned! 🎙️

What simple changes in how you ask the same question have you like 🤯 in terms of how much more effective you are? E.g..pedigree taking: how many children did your parents have together inc you? >> how many siblings do you have? & then clarifying ½ vs full sibs #genechat

Incredible work from world leaders in implementation of genetics into the nephrology space! 🤩👏 #BeanGenes

The most powerful way to raise awareness is by sharing personal stories, and AKF wants to hear yours. Tell us how APOL1-mediated kidney disease has impacted the lives of you or your loved ones by submitting a short video to help make others #APOL1Aware: bit.ly/3P3P9oa

Last night, Eleftheria Square in Nicosia was illuminated in purple colors for #WorldKidneyDay, which aims to raise awareness of the 900 million patients worldwide suffering from some form of kidney disease. #AlportWorkshop

Focusing on rare conditions could significantly reduce the burden of kidney disease on both patients and the NHS, according to a major new study led by Prof @DannyGale_1 @DoM_UCL @uclmedsci & the UK Kidney Association @UKKidney #WorldKidneyDay2024 ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/mar/…

Enjoyed learning about various treatment options to help with proteinuria (protein leak) in Alport syndrome! Look how cute the lil’ drug helpers are, ready to step in 😍

Edit- #AlportWorkshop !

Spending some time in Nicosia after an absolutely fantastic #AlportConference. Getting mistaken for a local is making me weirdly proud, even though I messed up my practiced 'δεν μιλαω ελληνικα' when the chance came 🤦🏼‍♀️🇨🇾
