@GeneticCouns @scarff_megan Love this point - I also wonder how GTx manufacturers (i.e., pharma) can help across the value chain w this effort. Streamlining Dx streamlines access to curative GTx; manufacturer investment in earlier and more accessible pathways to Dx increases demand for their GTx downstream

@thetylerhayes @healthcareandy @chrissyfarr I worked in this space as a provider (genetic counselor) and now work in global commercialization strategy for different gene therapies across multiple indications - I couldn’t agree more

@notsotoph This step alone won’t guarantee coverage, but helps establish a more clear regulatory pathway to demonstrate utility. Medicare currently sees limited utility in tests like these, but clearer reg. pathway can lead to clearer utility➡️might lead to utility CMS recognizes/covers

@m_mosera Just sent you a text!

#GeneChat any neuro GCs/GCs in general have a list of CPT codes that are commonly used for SMN1/2 testing for SMA diagnosis?

@lizmizerik @scientificturtl @helenjcgc @ABGCertifiedGCs To be clear, there were a number of other reasons I didn’t feel clinical work was a great fit outside of my inability to pass. However, working hard in clinic w a great team yet not deserving the CGC title to prove it was the tip of the iceberg that drove me to look elsewhere

@RASopathiesnet I would love his contact info, but for some reason I am unable to DM you! Would you mind messaging me?

Any #GeneChat friends at World Orphan Drug Congress @orphan_drugs today in Boston? I may have left clinical work, but couldn’t be more excited that my role in consulting brought me here this week! Would love to connect with any GC friends here 🧬

#GeneChat - specifically in Philadelphia and surrounding areas - looking for any leads on orgs that help with wheelchair repair? Friend with an urgent need for wheelchair repair and has gone through a long (and painful) process trying to get help. Any leads greatly appreciated🙂

I grew up in the Chicago suburbs (and have quite a few loved ones in Highland Park) and currently live in Philadelphia/heard screams from my apt tonight. I am so exhausted and can’t imagine how those feel who are even closer to these tragedies. Nothing to celebrate today 💔
