🤔 Why should you get genetic testing if you already have a diagnosis? New animated videos from the National Organization for Rare Disorders outline many of the reasons, such as determining the best treatment, expanding clinical trial options, and providing additional support. We are proud to have provided funding to support the educational videos, which were created in English and Spanish in partnership with the National PKU Alliance and Osmosis.org from Elsevier.

At a recent workshop we attended, participants discussed the future of Variants of Uncertain Significance (VUS) and whether they would be obsolete by 2030. The consensus? Most experts disagreed. This underscores the ongoing challenge of VUS in genetic testing and highlights the critical role of tools like MAVEvidence in providing clarity. As VUS remain a significant hurdle in clinical genetics, platforms like MAVEvidence are more important than ever. By offering clear, actionable insights based on comprehensive data, MAVEvidence helps clinicians and researchers tackle genetic uncertainty and make informed decisions—ensuring that advancements in precision medicine continue beyond 2030. #MAVEvidence #GeneticTesting #VUS #PrecisionMedicine #ConstantiamBiosciences #HealthcareInnovation #Genomics

🍞 Say what? There is a genetic test for coeliac disease? There sure is! However, it's not a diagnostic test. And while the test has good negative predictive value, it has poor positive predictive value, and as such its clinical application requires context and an understanding of the test's intended utility. I teamed up with Genetic Pathologist Dr Eric Lee to bring you the low-down on the HLA DQ2/DQ8 test. 🌏 This information is presented with the Australian 🐨 context in mind, if you are elsewhere in the world your context may differ. #coeliacdisease #genetictesting #pathology #interdisciplinarycollaboration 📌 All content and opinions expressed in this post and on this forum are entirely my own, and do not represent the views of any organisation with which I'm affiliated.

Desperate for answers and a solution to his health issues, Craig discovered clinical research and trials, leading him to undergo genetic testing with Invitae. This genetic test finally revealed his diagnosis of ADH1, a rare genetic condition related to hypoparathyroidism, which can cause chronically low levels of calcium in the blood and high levels of calcium in the urine. Let's bring awareness to the value of genetic testing, clinical trials, research, and accurate diagnoses for #WorldThyroidDay. 🧬🌍 #BehindTheMystery #ADH1 #ADH1Awareness #Hypoparathyroidism #RareDisease #RareDiseaseAwareness

Wezai Laboratory offers DNA testing - a genetic analysis that uses a small sample of saliva or blood to identify unique genetic patterns. These patterns are then compared with those of other individuals to determine family relationships, verify paternity or maternity, and even assist with hereditary health issues. DNA testing is a powerful and precise tool that provides valuable information based on the analysis of a person's genetic material. In addition to its applications in family relationships and health, this test is essential in areas such as personalized medicine and scientific research. It can reveal crucial information about genetic predispositions to certain diseases, enabling the adoption of more effective preventive measures. At Wezai, you will find DNA testing with personalized and special care. Our team is committed to providing support and guidance throughout the process, from sample collection to result interpretation. #DNAtest #GeneticHealth #PersonalizedMedicine #Wellbeing
