- New video – Interpreting your genetic report!
- I have been working with our intern, Kaho Kato, to develop a video explaining how to interpret a genetic report!
- We’ve heard from families who have found it difficult to understand the information presented in their report.
- We hope this video will assist in this!
- The video should be completed in the next few weeks. I will make a post announcing it when it has been completed.
- As always, if you have any questions or need private assistance with interpreting your report, please contact me at [email protected]

- TBRS Patient Registry – no consent or no surveys completed?
- There are some Participants in the TBRS Patient Registry that either have:
- Not consented to participate in the TBRS Patient Registry, or
- Have not completed any surveys
- If you are one of these participants, I have likely already reached out to see if this was intentional!
- Please keep an eye out for these messages
- REMINDER: you are not required to participate in the TBRS Patient Registry and can revoke consent at anytime
- To participate in the TBRS Patient Registry, click here!

- REMINDER: TBRS Registry → call for MRI imaging data – INFO coming soon
- We have a researcher who is interested in studying how an area of the brain is affected in TBRS through the use of MRI data from the registry.
- If you have MRI reports and/or images that you have not uploaded to the patient registry, we encourage you to do so!
- I will be looking into how best to obtain this data in the coming week and will share this information next friday.
- MRI data can also be sent to our Research Coordinator at [email protected].
