Remembering My Brother Who Died of Cancer January 11, 2024 Georgia Hurst Blog Article
G Hurst, Cure, January 11, 2024 (Posted: Jan 14, 2024 10AM)

From the article: "Today marks what would have been my brother Jimmy's 65th birthday. It's a bittersweet moment filled with both celebration and reflection as I remember the incredible person he was and the battle he faced against colorectal cancer caused by Lynch syndrome. In sharing this story, I hope to raise awareness about Lynch syndrome, honor Jimmy's memory and shed light on the challenges of survivor guilt that often accompany the loss of a loved one due to Lynch syndrome.

Rare Disease Day 2023
US Genomics Education Program, February 28, 2023 (Posted: Feb 28, 2023 6AM)

Today is Rare Disease Day, a global campaign that shines a spotlight on rare disease and on the patients, families and carers worldwide whose lives are affected by rare conditions. This Rare Disease Day, the GEP will officially launch its online course. The course takes learners on a journey that begins with the reality of living with a rare disease, then moves on to the practicalities of identifying and testing for rare conditions, before returning to patient stories and examining the wider implications that results may have for families.

The BQ.1.1 variant story Overall, a very good look and omen for the next couple of months
E Topol. Ground Truths, November 19, 2022 (Posted: Nov 21, 2022 7AM)

This is the first time in the pandemic that a variant with clearcut, marked immune evasion has not induced a major new wave. Examples of prior variants with increases in immune escape properties include Beta, Gamma, Omicron BA.1, BA.2, and BA.5. Each of these led to major waves globally or in specific continents (Beta in South Africa, Gamma in South America). Under pressure from prior infections, vaccinations, boosters and combinations of these, the virus is having a harder time finding new hosts. To date, BQ.1.1 has not been able to induce a new wave in 2 countries, a very positive sign.

Sickle Cell Disease and Gene Therapy - Patient and Physician Perspectives.
DeBaun Michael et al. The New England journal of medicine 2022 9 (13) e28 (Posted: Sep 29, 2022 8AM)

In this short documentary video, patients and physicians partner both to highlight the experience of living with sickle cell disease and to discuss the pathophysiology of the disease and new treatment strategies, including gene therapy. Patients share their own stories of interactions with the health care system and explore the challenging topics of racial disparity and health equity. Physicians express a cautious optimism as they review the risks and benefits of gene therapy.

Family Heart Foundation, September 2022 (Posted: Sep 24, 2022 7AM)

The Journey to Accepting My FH Diagnosis- “We lost her unexpectedly. From the outside, she had no indication something was wrong.” Charlotte was only 17 when her mother passed away from a heart attack. “She was so petite, and she lived a very stress-free life. She was radiant and active and you would have never known she had heart disease.”

Genomic Medicine's Critical Outcome Measure-Utility.
Smith Hadley Stevens et al. JAMA network open 2022 8 (8) e2225988 (Posted: Aug 15, 2022 7PM)

In more than a decade since genomic sequencing was first used for a patient diagnosis, clinical applications of this technology have rapidly increased. Successful early applications resulting in patient diagnoses and changes in care trajectories were primarily communicated through case reports.2 Larger numbers of patients now have genetic sequencing performed as part of research cohorts and clinical care, allowing calculations of the average effect of the intervention; however, the influence of compelling individual patient stories on outcomes reporting remains.

Success Stories
CDC, 2022 Brand (Posted: Jul 22, 2022 9AM)

Whole genome sequencing is used to generate DNA fingerprints from bacteria like Listeria. Data from WGS analyses support epidemiologic investigations and help public health investigators identify and solve more outbreaks. Check out these success stories.

Newborn Screening by Genomic Sequencing: Opportunities and Challenges
D Bick et al, IJNS, July 20, 2022 (Posted: Jul 21, 2022 7AM)

Newborn screening for treatable disorders is one of the great public health success stories of the twentieth century worldwide. This commentary examines the potential use of a new technology, next generation sequencing, in newborn screening through the lens of the Wilson and Jungner criteria. Each of the ten criteria are examined to show how they might be applied by programs using genomic sequencing as a screening tool. While there are obvious advantages to a method that can examine all disease-causing genes in a single assay at an ever-diminishing cost, implementation of genomic sequencing at scale presents numerous challenges,

BA.5, Chapter 2 Significant updates from the previous BA.5 story
E Topol, Ground Truths Blog, July 10, 2022 (Posted: Jul 11, 2022 10AM)

Two weeks ago I tried to pull together all we knew about the Omicron BA.5 variant (The BA.5 story). I didn’t think another chapter about this variant would be warranted, especially this soon, but there’s been quite a bit of new data worthy of review. In the United States, the march of exponential growth for BA.5 has progressed to dominance, accounting for ~54% of current infections as of July 2nd, which is really toward the end of June with the known delays in sequencing and reporting.

The BA.5 story The takeover by this Omicron sub-variant is not pretty
E Topol, Ground Truths Blog, June 27, 2022 (Posted: Jun 28, 2022 6AM)

The Omicron sub-variant BA.5 is the worst version of the virus that we’ve seen. It takes immune escape, already extensive, to the next level, and, as a function of that, enhanced transmissibility, well beyond Omicron (BA.1) and other Omicron family variants that we’ve seen (including BA.1.1, BA.2, BA.2.12.1, and BA.4). Here I will review (1) what we know about its biology; (2) its current status around the world; and (3) the ways we can defend against it.

Exploring the epigenetics of resilience
R Dajani, Nature Genetics, April 4, 2022 (Posted: Apr 04, 2022 2PM)

To do good science, we need to include diverse perspectives, work across disciplines and think outside the box while reminding ourselves that our goal as scientists is to serve humanity. I am sharing my story to encourage others to trust their gut feelings and to have the courage to see what everyone sees, but think what no one has thought.

The mutational steps of SARS-CoV-2 to become like Omicron within seven months: the story of immune escape in an immunocompromised patient.

Deltacron: the story of the variant that wasn’t
F Kreier, Nature, January 25, 2022 (Posted: Jan 24, 2022 1PM)

News of a ‘super variant’ combining Delta and Omicron spread rapidly last week, but researchers say it never existed and the sequences may have resulted from contamination. The story behind how a small crop of SARS-CoV-2 sequences became the focus of a brief and intense scientific controversy is complicated. And although some researchers applaud the system for quickly catching a possible sequencing error, others warn that the events of last week may offer a cautionary tale on the spread of misinformation during the pandemic.

Real Stories from People Living with Hemophilia – Carrie
CDC, November 2021 Brand (Posted: Nov 14, 2021 6AM)

Carrie is no stranger to hemophilia. Her father has severe hemophilia B (factor IX [9] deficiency) and she grew up watching her father experience joint bleeds and receive treatment at the Hemophilia Treatment Center (HTC) at his local hospital and at home. “It was challenging, but as a child you don’t know any different. [Hemophilia] is your normal. This is what your dad does. I had a father who never was able to run and play with us, he was never able to kneel down and give us a bath when we were kids.”

Estimating Recurrence Risk in Resected Early-Stage Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor–Positive Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer
C D'Avella et al, JAMA Network Open, November 5, 2021 (Posted: Nov 06, 2021 9AM)

Over the past decade, the landscape of NSCLC treatment has changed dramatically to include the use of targeted agents in advanced disease. One of the biggest success stories has been targeted therapy in the EGFR-positive population, which has transformed a disease with previously short survival to a well-managed chronic disease that many patients may live with for years.

Familial Hypercholesterolemia — Hiding in Plain Sight
L Sperling and K Wilemon, MEDSCAPE, October 21, 2021 (Posted: Oct 22, 2021 1PM)

The most common question we hear from the medical community is, if I'm treating someone's cholesterol, does it matter if I diagnose them with FH? And the resounding answer is yes. It matters for three reasons: One, because FH is different. It requires early diagnosis and early treatment to prevent early cardiovascular disease. Two, you never find only an individual with FH; you always find a family if you're looking. Three, FH is a prototype for precision medicine. We can identify those born at the highest risk for the number-one killer around the world before they develop disease. And with early diagnosis and management, we can completely change the trajectory of that individual's life and, really, the story of an entire family.

A machine-learning algorithm to target COVID testing of travellers
Z Obermeyer, Nature News, September 22, 2021 (Posted: Sep 23, 2021 6AM)

It seems an obvious combination: machine learning and the fight against COVID-19. And yet, despite intense interest and increasing availability of large data sets, success stories of such combinations are few and far between. Optimizing the testing of incoming travelers for COVID-19 involves predicting those who are most likely to test positive. A machine-learning algorithm for targeted testing has been implemented at the Greek border.
