Dear colleagues,
Thank you to those of you who attended our Engagement and Society Seminar, on perspectives of the Irish public on the use of their genetic data for research from our Your DNA Your Say Series.
If you missed it, you can watch the full recording here<https://societyandethicsresearch.wellcomeconnectingscience.org/catalogue/pe…>.
In this seminar, Dr Ciara Staunton, Senior Researcher at the Institute for Biomedicine, Eurac Research, discussed the results of a survey of 1000 participants in Ireland about their views on the use of their genetic data in research. She highlighted concerns they have about potential harms, who can access their genetic data for research, and their preferences on the governance of their genetic data. Vicky McGrath, CEO of Rare Diseases Ireland, responded to these findings and discussed what they mean for patients with rare diseases in Ireland.
We look forward to inviting you to our next seminar.
Best wishes,
The Engagement and Society team, Connecting Science

YDYS Ireland Webinar: Perspectives of the Irish public on the use of their genetic data for research
Who do the Irish public trust to use their genetic data for research, and what controls do they want on its use? Dr Ciara Staunton, Senior Researcher at the Institute for Biomedicine, Eurac Research and Vicky McGrath, CEO of Rare Diseases Ireland discuss findings from the Irish arm of the Your DNA, Your Say study
We are honoured to be hosting our 7th and final installment of the Your DNA Your Say Seminar Series with the Irish team.
Genomic medicine and research are at an important intersection in Ireland. A National Genetic and Genomic Strategy is under development, and this should guide the implementation of genetic and genomic medicine and research in Ireland. To ensure support for any such policy, it is essential that the views of patients in Ireland inform its development.
In this seminar, Dr Ciara Staunton, Senior Researcher at the Institute for Biomedicine, Eurac Research, will discuss the results of a survey of 1000 participants in Ireland about their views on the use of their genetic data in research. In particular, she will highlight concerns they have about potential harms, who can access their genetic data for research, and their preferences on the governance of their genetic data. Vicky McGrath, CEO of Rare Diseases Ireland, will respond to these findings and what they mean for patients with rare diseases in Ireland.
There are an estimated 300,000 people in Ireland living with rare conditions. With over 6,000 identified rare diseases, of which 72% are genetic in origin, genetics and genomics are key to both care and innovation for this underserved community.
People living with rare conditions in Ireland are spending years seeking a diagnosis. A recent survey by Rare Diseases Ireland revealed that 37% or respondents were waiting over 5 years for a diagnosis with 53% of respondents being investigated and treated for 3 or more rare conditions and 73% seeing 3 or more consultants with different specialisms on their diagnostic journey. The burdens of this diagnostic odyssey on the individual, their family and the healthcare system as a whole are enormous.
Genetics & genomics is a tool that can help to reduce this burden by shortening the diagnostic odyssey and providing a definitive answer. 77% of respondents who had access to genetic services received a diagnosis through this pathway. Genetic diagnosis provides those living with rare conditions the opportunity to get involved in research and to access new and novel therapies. It provides families with opportunities to manage risk, plan future pregnancies and network with families with a similar diagnosis.

Subject: YDYS - The next YDYS Seminar - 30th March 10am BST
Hello All,
I hope you are well!
We are holding the next YDYS webinar which will be delivered by Qurratulain Annie Hasan on Wednesday March 30th at 10am UK time. Please see below for more details:
Wednesday 30th March 2022
10:00-11:00 BST
Dr. Qurratulain Annie Hasan
The role of awareness in DNA data sharing and public opinion in India — challenges observed
The foundation of the study ‘Your DNA, Your Say’ rests on the willingness of individuals around the world to share data about themselves which is then made available to clinicians and researchers and society at large for health care. Trust is an important factor in sharing DNA information. However, during analysis of Indian data, it was evident that people’s awareness about DNA has to be assessed before we can establish their willingness to donate.
In this seminar Dr. Qurratulain (Annie) Hasan, Sr. Consultant & HOD, Research Director at the Department of Genetics and Molecular Medicine, Kamineni Hospitals, Hyderabad, India along with Swayamsiddha Sahoo, Research Trainee under Dr. Hasan, who has completed her MA in Public Policy and Governance from Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Hyderabad, India; will discuss their methodology and findings. They will also elaborate on how variables like gender, age and level of education are factors that are decisive regarding awareness to DNA and how their awareness plays an important role in building trust to donate their DNA data. They will also try address the staggering questions pertaining to Big Data, DNA and Public Policy.
