Using a strategy combining both monogenic and polygenic approaches, researchers achieved a better identification of high-risk #BreastCancer patients in a large retrospective study bit.ly/49fTyM2 Alexandre Bolze Joe Grzymski #GIMO #PopulationScreening #BRCA1 #BRCA2 #PALB2 #ATM

Thank you so much to my Renown Health colleagues at South Meadows and to the Reno Orthopedic Clinic for exceptional care yesterday when I had to make a patient visit for knee surgery! Still got to speak about healthynv.org. Grateful for the top notch care in Reno/Tahoe.

Cancer risk assessment is not consistently offered and can lead to inequity in care. Helix has shown #populationgenomics can be used to reduce this. In this #ASHG2022 poster, Alexandre Bolze takes this analysis further. Check out our presented research here: bit.ly/3DamHu6

Tomorrow, after years of advocacy by Americans working to improve our mental health system, 988 will become our new nationwide number for suicide prevention, mental health and substance use crises. Call or text 988 for a trained counselor who can provide support. #988Lifeline

The incomparable Alexandre Bolze with an awesome digest of our recent work led by the brilliant pair of Kelly Schiabor Barrett and Liz Cirulli - thanks to @HealthyNV participants and to Renown Health for all the support!

If a weapon is so dangerous that a squad of police officers are too afraid to confront a single person wielding it, that weapon should be banned.

Nevada Chapter, American Academy of Pediatrics strongly recommends that anyone over the age of 2, regardless of vaccination status, wear a well-fitting face mask when in public. healthychildren.org/English/health… @GovSisolak @SuptJaraCCSD

Thanks Dr. Liz Cirulli,a genetics rock star, for articulating the work so well! @HealthyNV participants and other population genetic risk assessment programs will benefit from these insights and analyses long into the future.

Another incredible contribution from @HealthyNV participants and science teams Desert Research Institute Renown Health Helix - the only way these studies make contributions to science is because people participate. Thank you!

Thank you so much Renown Health for putting on such a great child vaccination clinic! So grateful our kiddos are getting their vaccinations- a huge relief to so many parents.

Covid-19 is a complex phenotype and our use of EMRs to extract specificities of these complex phenotypes makes the task even harder!

Super cool visuals - hopefully relief from drought without catastrophic landslides/ erosions from summer fires
