Description:

We conduct research to accelerate the implementation of genomic medicine and the promise of precision health. Genome sequencing (GS) is increasingly conducted in large-scale human research studies, creating questions for investigators about whether and how to return genetic findings. The American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) recommends that physicians report secondary findings in at least 59 actionable genes (the ACMG59) whenever clinical GS is ordered. In an effort to Continued Learn More The BabySeq Project, funded by the NIH, is examining the use of whole exome sequencing to screen newborns for genetic childhood disease risk. BabySeq follows the pediatricians incorporation of genetic information into the baby s medical care. BabySeq aims to collect the data needed to examine what the risks and benefits of newborn genome sequencing might be as we imagine implementing into everyday care. Learn More The MilSeq Project, funded by the Department of Defense through the Air Force Medical Support Agency, is a pilot study examining the process of incorporating whole exome sequencing (WES) into the United States Air Force (USAF) military health system. Active-duty service members of the USAF (Airmen) are enrolled into the study to undergo clinical WES.

When to offer sequencing, or who to offer it to, is often times difficult in patients with prostate cancer.

We're excited to welcome new students guests. We also heard an excellent scientific presentation by #geneticcounselor Emma Perez, MGC on @MassgenBrigham #biobank's involvement in COVID related research with @covid19_hgi! 2Reply on Twitter 1273688777660268558Retweet on Twitter 12736887776602685585Like on Twitter 12736887776602685583Twitter 1273688777660268558Tala Berro@tala_berro 17 JunMy fellow @BrighamWomens GCs I are hosting Virtual Career Day for prospective GCs! We will have identity-based sessions led by a GC of that identity (LGBTQIA, racial/ethnic minority, disabled, etc) which are imp. discussions for us to be having! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/brigham-and-womens-hospital-genetic-counseling-virtual-career-day-tickets-107824421748Reply on Twitter 1273309718224809986Retweet on Twitter 127330971822480998621Like on Twitter 127330971822480998658Twitter 1273309718224809986Genomes2People@Genomes2People 17 JunThe #ProGen and #MAGENTA studies show that there is benefit to educational models pre and post genetic testing, emphasizing its importance as genetic testing becomes more available.
