In the realm of genetic disorders, Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) stands as a challenging puzzle for medical professionals. Ellen Roy Elias, MD, one of the geneticists who helped discover the cause of SLOS, spoke with Rare Disease 360 to shed light on the intricacies of SLOS, its diagnostic journey, treatment options, and the pivotal role of genetic counseling.

Article: Genetic Testing for Kids-Empowering Families in the Face of Hereditary Eye Diseases Introduction: Imagine finding out that your kid has a kind of inherited eye illness. It may be really challenging. Understanding these illnesses may be daunting, but this resource is here to assist. This article aims to provide an overview of childhood hereditary eye disorders. We'll discuss the research underlying these conditions and hear from actual people whose families have been affected. The importance of early detection of these disorders will be discussed. We will describe the tests that physicians utilize. We'll also go over the work of genetic counsellors in more detail. They make it easier for families to learn about issues and make informed decisions. https://lnkd.in/dWMgntcQ

✨DIAGNOSING AND MANAGING GENETIC DISORDERS✨ Up to 10% of people have a genetic disorder, but very few adults have ever received clinical genetic evaluation. Many adults currently live with undiagnosed genetic diseases and unexplained symptoms. Others have no symptoms now but are at risk for future onset. By sending patients to a geneticist for clinical testing and analysis, primary care providers can acquire vital information for diagnosing and managing genetic conditions. Many individuals with uncommon, complex, or unexplained symptoms can benefit from genetic testing and screening, which can provide answers about their health and a clearer path forward. 👉Some frequent red flags for hereditary illnesses are: ➡️A disease occurring (or progressing) earlier than usual ➡️A condition developing without the standard risk factors ➡️The same medical issue appearing in multiple locations ➡️The presence of unrelated primary diseases ➡️An intellectual or developmental disability 👉Primary care providers should also consider genetic testing and evaluation for anyone with a family history of: ➡️Cancer ➡️Cardiovascular disease ➡️Neurological conditions ➡️Congenital malformations ➡️A known or suspected genetic disorder A genetic diagnosis can provide all of the clinicians involved with the tools they need to enhance health outcomes and commence preventive measures. Undiagnosed individuals are prone to repeated and costly diagnostic work-ups, ineffective medicines and concomitant issues in the absence of a genetic examination and diagnosis. 🌟Read about the other ways genetics matters when it comes to primary care https://lnkd.in/giuRarvY #genetictesting #genetics #caremanagement #diagnosis #raredisorders #neurogenetic #raregeneticdisorders #metabolicconditions #chromosome15 #geneticdisorders #AngelmanSyndrome #Duplication1 #PraderWillisyndrome #primarycare #medicationsideeffects #DNA #reproductive

Gene editing therapy has just been approved for sickle cell disease (SCD) and beta-thalassemia. To understand the potential impact this has, it may be useful to remember how SCD can significantly affect patients' lives, namely children. Though especially focused on the role of oxidative stress on the disease, particularly on vascular brain disease in children, it is a comprehensive review on SCD. It also addresses genetic modulation (variants other than the causal genetic change) as an underlying factor influencing the significant clinical variation between patients. https://lnkd.in/dg9agGEa #SickleCellDisease #SCDreview #OxidativeStress #PediatricStroke #GeneticModulation P.S. #SciRiddles returns tomorrow

I'm excited to share that our research has been published in the Journal of Genetic Counseling! While exploring factors that impact family communication and cascade testing in Asian families with hereditary cancer syndromes, we found different family health beliefs that can be grounded in the Health Belief Model. Such family health beliefs can help providers deliver more tailored information, resources, and anticipatory guidance and facilitate increased family communication and cascade testing. https://lnkd.in/gEtQnFW4

Is WGS more cost-effective than WES for children with suspected genetic disorders? According to the findings from an economic evaluation involving 870 pediatric patients, it appears that utilizing WGS as a primary diagnostic approach is cost-effective within a willingness-to-pay range of US $32,625 to $54,375. #ClinicalSequencing #Pediatricdisease #WGS #WES #Geneticdiagnosis #3billion https://lnkd.in/gyzzr6DZ
