SDS SOLUTION | We saw the nasty effects of sudden death syndrome, or SDS, farther north than ever this growing season. However, it can be managed. On the blog, Travis says the best tool is genetic resistance. When making seed decisions for 2025, he recommends stacking a high-tolerance SCN gene with SDS tolerance for the best protection. Click the link for more ways to combat SDS in 2025.

Did you know that August is #SpinalMuscularAtrophy (#SMA) Awareness Month? SMA is the leading genetic cause of infant mortality and occurs when the SMN1 gene does not work properly. The faulty gene leads to degeneration of motor neurons and can take away a person's ability to walk, eat, or breathe. Please feel free to use and share resources from our #PatientEducation site, including a video, infographic, and links to patient groups, to learn more about this #raredisease as well as #Zolgensma, the #genetherapy that can slow symptoms! https://lnkd.in/gs47TC9r

Hereditary hemochromatosis is a disorder that causes the body to absorb too much iron from the diet. It is most commonly caused by certain changes in a specific gene, called the HFE gene. Affected people with or without a known family history of hemochromatosis can be diagnosed through blood tests for excess iron in the body (called iron overload) followed by genetic testing. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical to prevent complications from the disease. #HereditaryHemochromatosis #genetictesting #ironoverload #earlytestingmatters

Thalassaemia is an inherited blood disorder that affects the body's ability to produce healthy red blood cells, and understanding your genetic makeup can protect your future family. How? A simple blood test. 🩸 The blood test can reveal whether you or your partner carry the thalassaemia gene, potentially impacting your children and help you to make informed decisions and take proactive steps to prevent passing it on. The test not only detects the risk of thalassaemia but also other inherited conditions, offering an extra layer of protection. 👩🏻🍼 Read the article to understand its full impact and what your options are to prevent it. https://lnkd.in/dEBkmjsh... #ThalassaemiaAwareness #GeneticScreening #FutureFamily #PreventiveHealth #ThalassaemiaTesting #IVFCare #NovaIVF #ReproductiveHealth Shriraj RawalNaresh Pandya Dr. Jayesh Amin

Following research, a new genetic test has been recommended by NICE - National Institute for Health and Care Excellence to help poorly babies receive the best treatment. By detecting a particular gene, the Genedrive kit can make sure that the correct antibiotics are prescribed for babies and the risk of deafness is avoided. Scroll through to read the full story👇

Gene linkage Genetic linkage describes the way in which two genes that are located close to each other on a chromosome are often inherited together. ... In fact, the closer two genes are to one another on Youtube video: https://lnkd.in/dyedvpD4 \#nikolays_genetics_lessons

Understanding your genetic makeup is crucial to protecting future generations from serious blood disorders like thalassemia. By getting yourself tested today, you can determine whether you are a carrier of the thalassemia gene or a healthy individual. #KITCC #ThalassemiaMajor #ThalassemiaAwareness #ThalassemiaScreening

We have studied the APC gene for forty years to discover how different kinds of pathogenic variants cause conditions such as FAP and GAPPS. We’re uncovering more about genotype-phenotype correlations, which help us understand which variant types cause one condition or presentation versus another. We are still learning! Dr. Marcy Richardson, Associate Director, Clinical Research, breaks down what we know and what mysteries still remain.
