I always use myself as an example, why should I get a test with a 55% detection rate for CF-23 while someone who is AJ has a 97% detection rate. We're both paying our insurance premiums/deductibles, why do I get a lower quality screen based on my ethnicity/race?
Resharing this as it seems an opportune time to challenge everybody to look at your own practice and really examine when & why you restrict access to info for pts based on race. And why you may be using genotype panels vs. sequencing for carrier screening. #gcchat

@GoodGenesGC As GCs I think we need to be exploring all the different ways that we could be helping patients access the information and testing that they would like. It might not be our preferred way, but for a lot of patients, it is their preferred method of accessing info/care.

It shouldn't come as a surprise that Brian Reys was the recipient of the NSGC Strategic Leader Award last year. He's done so much work behind the scenes these past few years and I'm so happy that he was able to share updates with us this year. Goodbye 96040, Hello 96041! #NSGC24
