Weekly Updates! - April 26, 2024

Hello everyone! I hope you’re having a great week. Here are some TBRS Community updates from this week:

  • Biorepository samples IN ACTION!
    • The TBRS Biorepository is a collection of patient samples that is readily accessible for research.
    • Biorepository samples have been requested and sent for 2 Biomarker studies!
      • A biomarker is a measurable factor or biological molecule specific to TBRS that can be analyzed to test potential treatments.
    • These studies help us in our goal to identify therapeutics for TBRS, and this research would not be possible without the samples donated from TBRS patients!
      • If you would like to participate in the TBRS Biorepository, click here.
  • TBRS Baseball Card (Trading Card) - new translations!
    • The TBRS Baseball Card (aka the TBRS Trading Card) is a resource with personalized information about a TBRS patient that caregivers can share with clinicians and other support professionals!
      • This resource has been translated into German and Spanish!
      • Click here for more information or to request your own card.
  • New Family Welcome Packet - translations!
    • The TBRS Community New Family Welcome Packet is a resource that helps TBRS families, new and current, navigate TBRS information, support resources, and research participation.
      • This document is currently in English but is being translated into Spanish and German.
      • To access this resource, click here.
  • REMINDER: TBRS Registry → call for echocardiograms, EKGs, and cardiac data
    • We have a researcher who is interested in studying heart problems in TBRS through the use of the registry data, primarily echocardiograms and EKGs.
      • If you have echocardiograms and EKGs that you have not uploaded to the patient registry, we encourage you to do so!
        • These can also be sent to our Research Coordinator at kit@tbrsyndrome.org.
      • You can also participate by filling out the cardiology survey in the TBRS Patient Registry.

Thank you, and I hope you have a great weekend!Kit Church, Research Coordinator
