Hej! Dear Charlotta, I am Elena Baranova, medical genetisist from Russia, Moscow. The head of my reseach and I have been involved in YDYS project. My family and I live in Sweden now. Vi bor i Färila, Gävleborg iän. Min man jobbar på hälsocentral i Färila. Han är underläkare nu. Jag går på SFI. I am at the ESHG conference today. I will be very happy if you have time for small conversation with me. I really need your advise. Greatfully, Elena Baranova

Hello, Please see the below message from Charlotta of the Sweden YDYS team. FYI anyone subscribed to this group can send an email at any time to “YDYS(a)wgc.org.uk<mailto:YDYS@wgc.org.uk>” and it will reach everyone on this list. Warm regards, Lauren Robarts Dear all of you from the global YDYS team, I hope you all are fine. It has been a while since we all met virtually. Obviously a pandemic came in the way for us meeting in person. Me and my colleague Maria in Sweden, has sent an abstract to this year’s ESHG on the Swedish Rare diseases patient representative’s YDYS data. Gabriela has also sent an abstract on the Brazilian and Costa Rican data. Hopefully we will both be accepted. If anyone else of you will be at the ESHG conference it would be really nice to meet and catch up over a coffee or so. So, if you are to be at the ESHG in Berlin 1-4 June this year. Please sent me a mail and I will arrange a time and place for us to meet at the venue. Looking forward to meet some of you then. Take care Charlotta Vänliga hälsningar Charlotta Ingvoldstad MalmgrenPhD, Genetisk vägledare Centrum för sällsynta diagnoser, Klinisk genetik och Centrum för fostermedicin, Karolinska universitetssjukhuset Sammankallande Svenskt nätverk för information kring fosterdiagnostik, Snif Sammankallande Etik och policygruppen, EoP, inom SFMG Lauren Robarts Production Manager - Creative Team Engagement and Society [image001.jpg] Wellcome Connecting Science | Wellcome Genome Campus | Hinxton | CB10 1RQ | UK Wellcome Connecting Science enables everyone to explore genomic science and its impact on research, health and society. wellcomeconnectingscience.org/societyandethics <http://www.wellcomeconnectingscience.org/societyandethics> wellcomeconnectingscience.org/engage<https://www.wellcomeconnectingscience.org/engage> Follow Engagement and Society on LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/company/engagewcs/> Follow Science Engagement and Enrichment on Twitter<https://twitter.com/engageWCS> | YouTube<https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUzZKO3uzq8PQBeJhLLDxQg> | yourgenome.org<https://www.yourgenome.org/> Follow Research and Dialogue on YouTube<https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCASglZ45HDb5b7r8aNJP56w/videos>

Catch up on our webinar: Perspectives of the Irish public on the use of their genetic data for research
by Emma Garlick 30 Aug '22

30 Aug '22

[cid:image001.jpg@01D8B8A7.9A0F1AC0] 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 *** [wcs_emailsig]<https://www.wellcomeconnectingscience.org/> Wellcome Connecting Science | Wellcome Genome Campus | Hinxton | CB10 1RQ | UK Wellcome Connecting Science enables everyone to explore genomic science and its impact on research, health and society.

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.

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.

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.
