BIG Expectations for #BlackInGeneticsWeek
I’ve never felt so much respect for someone in a floral fanny pack Great @newsobserver photo of one of the many nurses on the front lines of this pandemic, at @UNC_Health_Care
This is a really lovely thread, thanks @TanentzapfLab @threadreaderapp unroll please

“Bayes theorem applies to everything clinicians do:” Les Biesecker writes in @GenomeMedicine about the simple but fundamental difference between genomic screening and genomic diagnostic testing. genomemedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
“My medical training was always tied to genetics. I grew up with genetics, you could say.” bit.ly/32KUA0J

Use of genomic screening in newborns and children requires careful thought about what information to include. NC NEXUS used "age-based actionability" to help categorize conditions for parental decision-making. authors.elsevier.com/a/1Z5eG_WXIBsL… @NICHD_NIH @UNCResearch
Who knew people could mis-use genetic tests? 🙄 Any guesses as to what "genetic condition" this guy was diagnosing based on 23andMe in order to gain exemptions? MTHFR, anyone? thevaccinereaction.org/2017/05/mthfr-… #psuedoscience #pseudomedicine
Cautiously optimistic about therapeutic intervention in Huntington disease. Exciting to see reduction in mutant HTT in CSF after intrathecal antisense oligo, but looking forward to Phase 2/3 trials studying outcomes & prevention of manifestations.

The distinction is between what genes were deemed by the ACMG Secondary Findings working group to be important enough to look for when someone undergoes clinical genomic sequencing for diagnostic purposes, versus those that should be actively sought in the general population.

Haven't read the book, but quotes from the review ("geneticist Robert Plomin ...presents DNA as a “fortune-teller” that is “100 percent reliable” and that can “predict your future from birth”) make me cringe. Hard to fathom anyone making claims that mutilate our science this way.

The problem with focusing intervention on the top decile of PRS is that it would ignore the majority of kids who will be overweight, obese, or severely obese, but who have a "normal" PRS (~82%, 79% and 68%, respectively)...

If you rearrange fig S3D, the top decile of PRS contains ~ 32% of the severely obese, 17% of the obese, and 9% of the overweight... the middle 8 deciles contain ~ 68%, 79%, and 82% of those populations, respectively. Does PRS really predict?

What a poignant story and a visceral reminder of how important communication is! A must-read for medical and genetic counseling trainees. And perhaps just for anyone who cares for patients in the most vulnerable times of their lives...

My problem with risk prediction is that it will always be right, whether you develop disease or not. They key to clinical utility is whether differential management based on PRS/risk factors will improve outcomes and cost. This is where more research is needed, not ROC curves.
