Vandaag vindt de dysmo-dag Zinnige Zorg plaats. In dit interessante programma komt casuistiek aan bod in relatie tot overwegingen binnen zinnige zorg, mede georganiseerd door de A&O zinnige zorg commissie van de VKGN. @erfocentrum

Recently we launched our rapid long read whole genome sequencing project at Erasmus MC Genetica Erasmus MC to enable fast diagnoses for critical ill children at the intensive care #genetics #raredisease #ONT #WGS #diagnostics

Schot, et al from Stefan Barakat lab nailed it. In GMDB, there are currently +18 cases from Nicky Whiffin, et al. #GestaltMatcher has a PPV for #RNU4_2 >90% (Hannah Klinkhammer ). What are you waiting for? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/cg….

“ReNU syndrome” (pronounced ‘renew’) A name chosen by family groups for the syndrome associated with variants in RNU4-2. It symbolises the renewed hope for a brighter future for families on receiving this diagnosis. Disease / syndrome naming is hard : a short 🧵

Intriguing role of one of our labs favorite genes, UGP2, determining cell differentiation speed. We previously found a founder mutation to cause severe epileptic encephalopathy & microcephaly, the latter possibly explained by differentiation difference #genetics #morbidgene

We wrote a new #GeneReviews chapter on the YIF1B neurodevelopmental disorder alias KABAMAS that we described a few years ago. Hopefully helpful if you encounter a patient. Eva Medico #morbidgene #genetics Erasmus MC #NDD #epilepsy ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK60699…

Fascinating overview of the history that lead to the identification of the fragile X syndrome gene in 1991 by Annemieke Verkeerk, Ben Oostra and others Erasmus MC Genetica Erasmus MC !
