CCLCM Research Day 2026! Had fun discussing the model we built to predict genetic testing outcomes in CKD 🧬🫘
When I trained in genetic counseling nearly 10 years ago, nephrogenetics wasn't a defined specialty. Creating the NSGC Renal SIG allowed us to build an international community which continues to grow today. I'm so grateful to everyone I've learned from- the future is bright! 🧬🫘

MYTH: Genetic testing cost is a barrier for patients 🙅🏼♀️
Many patients pay little to nothing out of pocket for testing, but may gain huge insights into the cause of their disease 🧬 A genetic counselor can help!

What simple changes in how you ask the same question have you like 🤯 in terms of how much more effective you are? E.g..pedigree taking: how many children did your parents have together inc you? >> how many siblings do you have? & then clarifying ½ vs full sibs

The most powerful way to raise awareness is by sharing personal stories, and AKF wants to hear yours. Tell us how APOL1-mediated kidney disease has impacted the lives of you or your loved ones by submitting a short video to help make others #APOL1Aware: bit.ly/3P3P9oa

Focusing on rare conditions could significantly reduce the burden of kidney disease on both patients and the NHS, according to a major new study led by Prof @DannyGale_1 @DoM_UCL @uclmedsci & the UK Kidney Association @UKKidney #WorldKidneyDay2024

Enjoyed learning about various treatment options to help with proteinuria (protein leak) in Alport syndrome!
Look how cute the lil’ drug helpers are, ready to step in 😍
Spending some time in Nicosia after an absolutely fantastic #AlportConference. Getting mistaken for a local is making me weirdly proud, even though I messed up my practiced 'δεν μιλαω ελληνικα' when the chance came 🤦🏼♀️🇨🇾
