![]() | Patient Chat @patientchat Welcome to #patientchat - where patients, care partners, and advocates come to learn from each other and discuss topics of interest to empowered patients. |
![]() | Patient Chat @patientchat We start out with introductions - Those joining in, please take a moment to introduce yourself. #patientchat |
![]() | Patient Chat @patientchat Happy Friday! I’m Nykema from @power4patients and I’m looking forward to today’s #patientchat 😊 |
![]() | Abner Mason @abnermason Hi, all! I hope your Friday's going great. My name's Abner Mason. Excited to be here for my first #patientchat. About me: I run @ConsejoSano_US & spent years in state and fed government. My life's work is connecting culturally diverse patients—like you, me & our families—to care. |
![]() | Rhea Beauchesne @rhea_beauchesne Hi! I’m a research assistant with [REDACTED USER], working mainly on the Practice aim. Let’s get started! #PatientChat |
![]() | ROHHADwarrior @ROHHAD_warrior @patientchat Good afternoon, I’m Sarah with a rare Disease called ROHHAD. It is actually a syndrome. #patientchat |
![]() | Patient Chat @patientchat Please continue intros and welcomes. I’ll share a couple “ground rules" :) #patientchat |
![]() | Abner Mason @abnermason [REDACTED USER] @patientchat [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @NicolaK39 [REDACTED USER] @rhea_beauchesne Great to meet you, Tasha. Seems like you're doing some great work. #patientchat |
![]() | Rhea Beauchesne @rhea_beauchesne @patientchat Hi! I’m a research assistant with [REDACTED USER], working mainly on the Practice aim. Let’s get started! #PatientChat |
![]() | Patient Chat @patientchat Today's chat is solely informational and not a substitute for speaking with a doctor who's familiar with your medical needs and history #patientchat |
![]() | Patient Chat @patientchat You can view our Chat Etiquette and Guidelines at https://t.co/XO3X3JyAcV #patientchat |
![]() | Patient Chat @patientchat Today's #patientchat topic is Genome-Wide Sequencing: What an Empowered Patient Needs to Know https://t.co/MroF1mkuvE |
![]() | Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients Hi #patientchat! My name is Kara from @power4patients and I'm looking forward to chatting and learning from everyone today |
![]() | Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients RT @patientchat: Today's #patientchat topic is Genome-Wide Sequencing: What an Empowered Patient Needs to Know https://t.co/MroF1mkuvE |
![]() | Patient Chat @patientchat I will introduce new Topics with T1, T2... Please include corresponding T# at front of your answer - hard to remember but helpful #patientchat |
![]() | Natalie 🦓 @_Nataliea Guess I should tune into this. Have a #raredisease and my genes are floating around various labs in the hopes that they will find something. #PatientChat |
![]() | Patient Chat @patientchat @_Nataliea Welcome! Happy you could tune in today #patientchat |
![]() | Patient Chat @patientchat Time to start our topics. Here comes T1: #patientchat |
![]() | Patient Chat @patientchat T1: What is genome-wide sequencing? #patientchat https://t.co/6qrkhIUxSh |
![]() | Diverse Health Hub @DHealthhub RT @patientchat: Today's #patientchat topic is Genome-Wide Sequencing: What an Empowered Patient Needs to Know https://t.co/MroF1mkuvE |
![]() | Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients RT @patientchat: T1: What is genome-wide sequencing? #patientchat https://t.co/6qrkhIUxSh |
![]() | Abner Mason @abnermason [REDACTED USER] @patientchat T1: This is concise and helpful. I'm curious: Am I right in assuming that most patients know very little about genome-wide sequencing until they need it? #patientchat |
![]() | ROHHADwarrior @ROHHAD_warrior @patientchat T1: genome- wide sequencing is looking at a large set of DNA and comparing an individual’s to the “normal” pattern to detect anything out of the ordinary that may cause a disease. #patientchat |
![]() | Patient Chat @patientchat Topic 2 (T2:) coming up..... #patientchat |
![]() | Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients What are your thoughts #patientchat? Have you heard about genome-wide sequencing? |
![]() | Patient Chat @patientchat T2: Why would someone have genome-wide sequencing? #patientchat https://t.co/l0lSA8z1gi |
![]() | Patient Chat @patientchat #patientchat |
![]() | Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients RT @patientchat: T2: Why would someone have genome-wide sequencing? #patientchat https://t.co/l0lSA8z1gi |
![]() | Rhea Beauchesne @rhea_beauchesne @patientchat T2: It is usually used for the diagnosis of genetic conditions. Although most people are receiving this type of genetic testing because they are involved in large research studies, many people are also starting to have GWS through routine clinical care. #PatientChat |
![]() | ROHHADwarrior @ROHHAD_warrior @patientchat T2: I know I personally have had testing to see if there was a genetic cause to my medical condition. You can see if it is genetic or possibly autoimmune. #patientchat |
![]() | Abner Mason @abnermason [REDACTED USER] @patientchat T1: That makes sense. And I'm glad to hear you're seeing trends in the right direction. #patientchat |
![]() | Patient Chat @patientchat Topic 3 (T3:) coming up..... #patientchat |
![]() | Abner Mason @abnermason @ROHHAD_warrior @patientchat T2: Did you and your care team get solid answers from the testing? #patientchat |
![]() | Natalie 🦓 @_Nataliea @patientchat #A2 #patientchat - mine are sequenced as part of a natural history study for my #raredisease - it’s sporadic and not inherited so it’s not easy to find the genes that cause(s) it with SO. MANY. GENES. 😂 |
![]() | Patient Chat @patientchat T3: What is genetic counseling? #patientchat https://t.co/27AHZLNZ6K |
![]() | Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients RT @patientchat: T3: What is genetic counseling? #patientchat https://t.co/27AHZLNZ6K |
![]() | Patient Chat @patientchat #patientchat |
![]() | Abner Mason @abnermason T3: Genetic counseling is critical—it's how patients understand this complex stuff. When patients know what a decision means for them & their families, they can take the right steps for their health. Genetic counselors help patients know what they're dealing with. #patientchat |

![]() | Patient Chat @patientchat Topic 4 (T4:) coming up..... #patientchat |
![]() | Abner Mason @abnermason @ROHHAD_warrior @patientchat Wishing you health and understanding in your journey. #patientchat |
![]() | Patient Chat @patientchat T4: How does someone get access to genetic services? #patientchat https://t.co/VqRzi6DmIL |
![]() | ROHHADwarrior @ROHHAD_warrior @patientchat T3: Genetic Counseling is being able to learn about and cope with a new medical diagnosis. #patientchat |
![]() | Abner Mason @abnermason T4 It's key to understand how patients don't get access. People from underserved communities face big barriers. SDOH challenges like lacking local services, insufficient provider-led education, insurance coverage questions. Also: ineffective messaging/engagement. #patientchat |
![]() | ROHHADwarrior @ROHHAD_warrior @patientchat T4: Someone will normally be referred by another physician to have the testing completed. They may also be taking part in a research project about their medical condition. #patientchat |
![]() | Abner Mason @abnermason [REDACTED USER] @patientchat T3: Feeling empowered at that moment is so important. #patientchat |
![]() | Patient Chat @patientchat Topic 5 (T5:) coming up..... #patientchat |
![]() | Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients RT @patientchat: T4: How does someone get access to genetic services? #patientchat https://t.co/VqRzi6DmIL |

![]() | Abner Mason @abnermason [REDACTED USER] T4: Of course! Social determinants of health. They're so critical to determining whether patients have access to care in the first place, the care journey, and outcomes. #patientchat |
![]() | Patient Chat @patientchat T5: What types of results can someone get from genome-wide sequencing? #patientchat https://t.co/qpfu8lKZkF |
![]() | Rhea Beauchesne @rhea_beauchesne [REDACTED USER] @patientchat T5: A positive result may also mean that you or your family may be able to connect with others who have the same condition. Peer support can be life-changing for individuals and families with the same conditions. #PatientChat |
![]() | ROHHADwarrior @ROHHAD_warrior @patientchat T5: GWS can give different results to what your phenotype(how you look) to different medical conditions. #patientchat |
![]() | Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients RT @patientchat: T5: What types of results can someone get from genome-wide sequencing? #patientchat https://t.co/qpfu8lKZkF |
![]() | Patient Chat @patientchat Topic 6 (T6:) coming up..... #patientchat |
![]() | Rhea Beauchesne @rhea_beauchesne [REDACTED USER] @patientchat T5: Research in this area is moving really quickly. An uncertain result today might not be uncertain forever. #PatientChat |
![]() | Abner Mason @abnermason [REDACTED USER] @patientchat T5: Thanks for sharing this insight. How do you, as a genetic counselor, manage this uncertainty? #patientchat |
![]() | Patient Chat @patientchat T6: What can stakeholders (e.g genetic counselors, medical geneticists, healthcare professionals, patient advocates) do to make genome-wide sequencing and genetics services more equitable and diverse? #patientchat https://t.co/GFvKwSOGFE |
![]() | Rhea Beauchesne @rhea_beauchesne @patientchat T6: Another important research area should be a focus on diversifying data sets to make interpretation of genetic testing better for non-white patients. #PatientChat #DiversityandInclusion |
![]() | Abner Mason @abnermason T6 Build relationships with people from underserved communities. Understand patients & their cultures. Coordinate messaging around that—reach patients where they are. It's hard to open the door if patients don't know the door exists or that it leads to better health. #patientchat |
@ @rhea_beauchesne @patientchat T6:System/service delivery challenges are important & require advocacy efforts from all stakeholders. We need to think how to reduce referral barriers, increase awareness, increase insurance coverage/funding, and service delivery to rural areas (telehealth, outreach) #PatientChat | |
@malkabethwendy Don't do it unless you want your data stolen &/or used against you constantly- there's nothing else to know in this era of cyber insecurity with a global surveillance state that partners with private companies & where data "leaks" are constantly happening. #PatientChat | |
![]() | Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients RT @patientchat: T6: What can stakeholders (e.g genetic counselors, medical geneticists, healthcare professionals, patient advocates) do to… |
![]() | ROHHADwarrior @ROHHAD_warrior @patientchat T6: one of biggest things is to not deny insurance ie health, life ect to those who find out they have a pre-existing diagnosis. I don’t know what term I am trying to use. #patientchat |
![]() | Patient Chat @patientchat Time to start sharing closing thoughts (CT) on what you learned, were reminded of or can implement. Start your tweet w/ CT: #patientchat |
![]() | Abner Mason @abnermason [REDACTED USER] @patientchat T5: This is enlightening. So glad I joined #patientchat today. |
![]() | Rhea Beauchesne @rhea_beauchesne Yes! Meeting people on their own terms and treating them as the expert of their own experiences. 🙌🏼 |
![]() | Abner Mason @abnermason [REDACTED USER] T6: I love that you're calling for patient involvement. This is the right path forward, no matter what area of healthcare you're focused on. #patientchat |
