New in @nature.com! “GREGoR: Accelerating Genomics for Rare Diseases” highlights how the GREGoR Consortium is advancing rare disease discovery through data sharing, multi-omics, and next-gen sequencing across 7,500+ individuals in 3,000+ families.

The GA4GH Genomics Knowledge Standards (GKS) Work Stream aims to develop a “common language” to describe and share variants, helping to deliver on the promise of scalable genomic medicine. Watch the animation to learn more!
How a “common language” to share genetic variation can improve patient care
When a doctor suspects their patient might have a genetic disease, they can test a person’s genome to find differences (variants) that might cause the symptoms. However, it can be challenging to find…

Genetic testing can raise more questions than answers, especially for #RareDisease variants. A new PNRI study w/ @bcmhouston.bsky.social, Texas Children's Hosp, @childrensnational.bsky.social and Univ. of VA clarifies how #OTC gene variants affect health & guide prevention. More at: bit.ly/48d8WdJ
