É tão absurdo que quase dá vontade de rir...

Excellent session @Preventable_EU Midterm Conference! Great talk by Dr. @yasminaokan on the challenges and recommendations for cancer risk communication. Also, great suggestions on effective visual representation of cumulative risk!

It has been a while since #eshg2024 in Berlin. Still, we would like to acknowledge @eshgsociety for supporting us to represent the young human #genetics generation! Thank you all who met us & joined our activities! We are looking forward to #eshg2025 in Milan 🧬

Huge pleasure to have the input of HDGC patients on the development of the latest HDGC guidelines. More than numbers and samples, it is important to remember for whom we work everyday, for life-saving measures and overall better quality of life.

The founder CDH1 families that were the focus of my PhD shared their impactful HDGC stories. Such an honor to do research with them & for them! Don't miss the chance to watch it 👌

🔝 Check the recommendations for carrier testing for partners of MUTYH variant carriers ➡️ The UK Cancer Genetics Group provides guidance to address the current inconsistencies in clinical practice. 🗣️ @McVeighTerri et al bit.ly/3XdBDmU

Such a clear presentation, great work @Rbn_Hfmstr! For all @eshg_young check it to see how to present complex concepts in a simple and effective way!

@JamesFasham @carolinefwright Great thread James thank you!!!

@carolinefwright Room A8 #eshg2024 Educating us about the penetrance of developmental disorder variants in the general population 1/n 🧵

So glad @JamesFasham was covering this session! Excellent talk from @carolinefwright. Read the thread for more info! #eshg2024

Learn from the @eshgsociety SM co-chairs @aleenamolbio and @JamesFasham how to use social media to better communicate science! 🧬The workshop is happening now at Sequencing Square, from 14:00-15:30. #eshg2024

🌟 Join @eshg_young at #eshg_2024 for exciting events, networking and a vibrant community of young human geneticists! Let's shape the future of human genetics together!

Check some of the highlighted sessions from @eshg_young committee for the second day of #eshg2024 conference. #genetics #genomics

@StadlerZsofia sharing a very important message regarding early onset cancer and its association with mutations on high and moderate penetrant genes. Reminding that precision oncology also includes germline cancer risk assessment #eshg2024

@LValleResearch @eshgsociety @MaxTamlander Great session and much needed topic!

Great attendance to the session on genetic contributions to cancer risk at @eshgsociety Going on right now!!! Very happy to chair this session together with @MaxTamlander Thanks to the presenters for very good talks and the audience for excellent discussion.
