But the real bottleneck to scaling this up?
➡️ Our ability to counsel and consent patients properly.
➡️ Ensuring families understand the implications — for themselves & for their wider family - that's why I'm choosing #GeneticCounsellors for the WIN. 🧵 3/3
The science is ready. Are we ready? 👀
At the initial visit for evaluation of HTN BP should be measured in both arms to assess for an inter-arm discrepancy. It's in the guidelines, but implementation in busy clinics is is easier said than done.

Another #Nephmadness podcast done. Got my step count in while learning more about Minimal Change Disease.
Let’s keep the progress in Minimal Change Disease discovery going.
🌀 It's that time again #NephMadness! These are my picks as a paediatric nephrologist with a career focus on genetics, blood pressure & prevention 💥🧬💉
Some tight matchups this year — but here's why #geneticcounselling got my vote 🧵 1/3
Genomics has already transformed nephrology.
✅ We know which patients benefit
✅ We’ve got extensive gene panels
✅ Testing is affordable or funded in many countries
It’s precision medicine in action — and it's here now.

Genetic counselling considerations are such an important part of delivering genomics healthcare. I strongly believe we need to be empowering genetic counsellors to be more integrated in healthcare to scale up genomics. We wrote about this issue recently on @mja.com.au
