@Ddysmo @annekeluc @GeneticBill @HelenVFirth Much appreciated feedback, @Ddysmo. Thank you. For any whipper-snappers, @Ddysmo is genetics royalty. She was discovering new syndromes and mapping genes when you were still in short trousers. These words could not have come from a wiser voice....

Today in the @TheLancet, we UK geneticists argue: "Population screening requires robust evidence—genomics is no exception" @annekeluc, @HelenVFirth, @GeneticBill, @carolinefwright, @mgtmccartney, @wilkie_lab, @RobinLachmann,@group_tomlinson,@lucymedgen
