"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."
Isa Cueto@isabellacueto

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…

No, this is not paid! The podcast makes $0. Ideally, this opportunity is for a prospective genetic counselor. Time spent on podcast is flexible and intern will be supported in their learning and toward their GC-related goals.

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💖

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. 😑
