#eshg2026 day 3!
🧬 Really enjoyed the Mendelian Disorders session at #eshg2026 this morning.
Fascinating talks on DHX36, RLF, MACROH2A1, LDB1 and CHD3, showing how novel disease gene discovery is increasingly being linked to underlying epigenetic and transcriptomic mechanisms.

Day 2 at #eshg2026
“Let’s Debate: Genomic Newborn Screening” 🧬👶
Really enjoyed hearing the different views on this evolving topic. A fantastic panel discussion with thoughtful arguments on both sides.
