The CRDN launch isn’t just a moment, it’s a movement! Join us today, on #RareDiseaseDay as we embark on the journey of innovative care and research. Our mission is clear: create a unified force for change in the rare disease landscape across Canada. #CRDNLaunch

On #RareDiseaseDay2024 we are #InspiringHope through our continued support for diagnosis and treatment. Today we launch a new natl database for sharing genome-wide sequencing data. Bravo to the #AllForOne portfolio, innovating in #RareDisease solutions! bit.ly/3IkpmEi

Great to see @CHEO @AlexMunter kick-off @raredisorders summit highlighting key #genomic research work, e.g., @C4RCanada, and the impact on #RareDisease patients. Also 🙏 for highlighting importance of sharing & integrating #data across jurisdictions and hospitals. @GenomeCanada

#TBT to 2017 when we funded an #LSARP to deliver innovative diagnostic care for #RareDiseases. The team successfully transferred and harmonized data from 13 different labs and assembled nearly 5.5K records in the #Genomics4RD database🎆! genomics4rd.ca

In just over a week we will be acknowledging #RareDiseaseDay2024. We have invested and continue to invest deeply in #RareDiseases - from screening to treatment - across #Canada 🇨🇦.

How a study evaluating the diagnostic utility of publicly funded clinical exome sequencing for patients with suspected rare genetic diseases in Ontario sets the benchmark for similar programs in other regions: listen to the January GenePod now! bit.ly/48MDQbo

Looking forward to chatting about the accomplishments of Genome-wide Sequencing Ontario at #NSGC23 🧬 Stop by my poster (GGT281) tomorrow evening to learn more about the first provincially based and clinically funded #GWS program in Canada 🇨🇦

Come join the Genetic Counselling team @CHEO ! Great opportunity to be involved in the many innovative initiatives with the Genetic Diagnostic Laboratory! careers.cheo.on.ca/Job/Details/02…

Today in “direct to consumer testing that I didn’t expect and yet am unsurprised by”: usatoday.com/story/entertai…

Our research team is excited to announce that we're now active on Twitter! Join us for updates, insights, and discussions on health services and policy issues related to the use of genomic technologies in medicine. Let's connect!

A huge loss to the genetics community, marginalized patients and healthcare at large! Absolutely worth a read (or two-three reads) ❤️

If you are looking for up-to-date, accessible primary care resources on genetic conditions & topics, GECKO is for you. 🫵 Have you seen the refreshed genomics education site? 👀 💌 #MedGeneEd23 @CFPC_e @CME_UOttawa @uoftmedicine @CFPJournal @genome_gov @genomicsedu

Someone is not quite as engaged in @HRCGC_Tweets as I am. It has been a great morning of talks! Looking forward to even more this afternoon

The All for One Health Data Ecosystem is planning to help connect Canadians with rare diseases to research! Have your say on the Governance Framework for a proposed national registry for families getting genetic testing. All perspectives valued; comments welcome by March 10/23.

Popcorn is a perfectly acceptable meal replacement. Prove me wrong. 🍿

Come join the CHEO Lab team!! Term position to start with lots of great opportunities and a fantastic team! careers.cheo.on.ca/Job/Details/e0…
