🧬 The team from Manchester BRC, @MFTnhs and @FBMH_UoM collaborated with scientists worldwide to analyse the genetic data of thousands of individuals.
They studied parts of our genes which have previously been dismissed as ‘dark matter’ or ‘junk DNA’.

Hi Pankaj. Agree, fantastic meeting. Shows how valuable it is for patient organisations and motivated clinicians to work together. So grateful for all your contributions and fabulous to finally to meet you in person 👍🏼
At #kabuki syndrome meeting in Boston building clinical consensus guidelines… amazing teamwork…families participation…can be a great framework for all #RareDisease! Thank you @smbanka!
First organised by Prof. Dian Donnai in 1984, the MDC is now a leading biennial international event for experts in 🧬 #Dysmorphology #CongenitalMalformations

What a ‘Unique’ coincidence! Perhaps reflects that it was the right time for the pioneers in our field to start attempting bringing like minded people together?
So the MDC is exactly the same age as @Unique_charity! ❤️ youtu.be/KiOTh1kU4eU?si=y6xD…
