📢 Are you a genetic counsellor doing a PhD—or thinking about one? The GC-PhD peer support group (of the GCR Connect Committee) is hosting a professional development workshop on Thurs 14 Aug, 2–4pm, at the Garvan Institute, Sydney. 🧬 #GeneticCounselling #PhD EOI: forms.office.com/r/0v5r1uaZrP

Great to have this article out which highlights the urgent need to rethink how we define and assess deafblindness for children with Usher syndrome. Thanks again to Leo, Sue, Emily, Meredith and Laura for the collaboration!

You can watch last month's Glaucoma Australia Live Q&A where Dr Emmanuelle Souzeau and I presented to families about the genetics of congenital & childhood glaucoma here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEwu...

Great to be presenting at Glaucoma Australia's Live Q&A again this month. Prof Jamie Craig & I presented on the SightScore polygenic risk score and Seonix Bio's new service offering testing to unaffected relatives of people with glaucoma! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcKE...

Great day at the Australian Polygenic Research Summit on Monday. Prof Jamie Craig presented on the FHMRI Eye & Vision team's work on a model of management for glaucoma using PRS. Definitely catch the recording for those who missed it. Thanks to Peter Mac, Aus Genomics & UQ for organising!

Great paper led by Dr Nia Kolovos from our FHMRI Eye & Vision team about the use of genetic testing for glaucoma in the clinic. We describe the monogenic and polygenic contributors to glaucoma diagnosed across the lifespan to support clinicians seeing families with glaucoma. doi.org/10.1111/ceo....

Imagine featuring 3 pie charts. The first pie chart describes the percentage of single-gene molecular diagnosis achieved for childhood glaucoma (64% unsolved, 38% solved), the second pie chart describes the percentage of single-gene molecular diagnosis achieved for early-onset (juvenile) glaucoma (85% unsolved, 15% solved), the third pie chart describes the percentage of single-gene molecular diagnosis achieved for adult-onset glaucoma (97% unsolved, 3% solved).

Wishing all of my colleagues a very happy Genetic Counsellor Awareness Day! We had a really wonderful ASGC webinar this morning featuring speakers from different areas exploring their roles and pathways. The breadth of our field seems to be endless - love being part of such a cool community! 💜
