Sofie (33) heeft Noonan syndroom. De medische feiten kende ze al vroeg, maar pas jaren later ontdekte ze hoe belangrijk het is om Γ³Γ³k over emoties en vermoeidheid te praten.

Dilated Cardiomyopathy Discovery in Gene Mutations Institute scientists make world-first discovery lifestyle and clinical factors contribute to an earlier diagnosis of dilated cardiomyopathy in those with…

A new global study reveals lifestyle changes could delay or prevent the onset of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) by decades. The study led by the Institute's Prof Diane Fatkin also revealed people with a mutation in the TTN gene face a 21 fold increased risk of developing DCM: www.victorchang.edu....

Endurance Exercise Promotes Episodes of Myocardial Injury in Individuals with a Pathogenic Desmoplakin (DSP) Variant Desmoplakin (DSP) variants are associated with left-predominant or biventricular arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. Exercise promotes penetrance and sustained ventricular arrhythmias (VA) in right-sided arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, but its effect is unknown in DSP variant carriers.

It's finally here! The #DSP exercise data you've all been waiting on! TLDR: different appearance than in PKP2 #ACM, but intense exercise not good in DSP ACM either. #cardiogen www.heartrhythmjournal.com/article/S154...

Awesome talk by Dr Cindy James on the many findings from the 800+ DSP-erados network πŸ‘πŸ» DSP cardiomyopathy certainly a good example of why knowing genotype is so important

Hey GCs, are you using an employer-provided healthcare-specific AI tool at work? I'm reaching out on behalf of a group of GCs who are planning a submission for the NSGC AC on this topic. You don't have to be far in your adoption or a pro! Please DM me or reply in this thread #GeneChat

Interesting case study of a homozygous PLN variant (p.L39*) in a patient with severe DCM requiring HTx (het parents had LV hypertrophy). onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... Just the third such case reported (AFAIK) - PLN has very complex geno-pheno associations... #cardiogen #cardiosky 🧬

De novo enhancer creation by a noncoding mutation Genetic investigation of a cardiac arrhythmia reveals a new noncoding Mendelian disease mechanism

Another beautifully-written piece by @doctorveera.bsky.social

'One of the biggest mysteries of human genome... is the biological mechanism through which noncoding variants influence disease-risks and trait variations.'

Thank you @jodieingles27.bsky.social and @laurayeates1.bsky.social for having our talented PhD student Marlies van Lingen MD as a guest! I hope she had the chance to present some of her work on the ethics of digitization in genetics and our β€œDNA-poli” project. πŸͺπŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡³πŸ‡±
