This week is Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Awareness and I was lucky enough to have three fabulous guests on Demystifying Genetics. First Guest – Ellen Matlof, Genetic Counselor & Director, My Gene Counsel Ellen is a genetic counsellor extraordinaire in Connecticut, USA, with many years experience working in the familial cancer setting. We discuss: • The role of the Genetic Counselor and their role in the ordering and interpretation of genetic results • What a gene is and what variants in a gene means • The My Gene Counsel Living Lab Report • Hereditary cancer testing including BRCA1 & BRCA2 • APOE testing and dementia • Gene patenting • Case studies of misinterpretation of genetic results due to no genetic counsellor being involved. Second Guest- I go on to speak to Nicole. She has recently found out she has a BRCA2 mutation and was lovely enough to come on the podcast to share her story. We talk about how she came to have genetic testing, the impact it has had on her life and that of her family. Third Guest – Krystal Barter – Founder of Pink Hope Krystal has a very strong family history of breast cancer and she found out she had a BRCA1 mutation at 21.

In this ninth Demystifying Genetics podcast I discuss Fragile X and other conditions of learning disability with Dr Mike Field, Consultant Clinical Geneticist. Mike has a lovely way of taking complex concepts and issues and explaining in a way that is easy and straightforward to understand. Mike has been involved with many research projects to do with the genetics of learning disability and we spent some time talking about this. We also covered In vitro Fertilisation (IVF) and preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), which are techniques that an individual or couples may choose to achieve a pregnancy and by eliminating the risk of passing a certain condition on to the next generation. We end our podcast together by discussing bioinformatics and it’s relationship with clinical genetics and the future of genetics. https://geneticfield.com.au/learn-more/the-team/ Support the show Demystifying Genetics is sponsored by TrakGene https://www.trakgene.com/…

Welcome to a podcast all about Huntington disease (HD). Joining me in this podcast is Senior Social Worker John Conaghan. I love all my guests and love all of my conversations about demystifying genetics, however this podcast feels special. John is such a caring and empathic worker and his kindness shines through in this conversation. We discuss what Huntington disease is and how it affects people with the condition and also the affect it has on their families. John has a long history of working with people and families affected with HD. John was working before the gene for HD was discovered. We talk about what it was like when genetic testing for the HD gene became available. Before direct genetic testing was available, a less sophisticated test called “linkage” was available and John discusses the issues with this type of testing and the hope that came with direct genetic testing. The new hope is that of genetic therapies that may come. https://lifesupportscounselling.com.au/counsellors/john-conaghan/ https://www.jodieharrison.com/news/speeches/king-s-birthday-honour-for-john-conaghan-oam/ Support the show Demystifying Genetics is sponsored by TrakGene https://www.trakgene.com/…
