GRIN2B: An Odyssey from Diagnosis to Evacuation
<p>Nadia Billous is a mother of two young sons, including 9-year-old Andryusha who was diagnosed with GRIN2B-related neurodevelopmental disorder. Nadia and her family are Ukrainian and lived in Kyiv at the time of Andryusha’s birth. At first, he was a typical, healthy baby but began to have some alarming symptoms around 3 months of age which led to a 7 year odyssey to identify this rare diagnosis. Andryusha was receiving therapies and interventions to help him gain strength and prove his quality of life which were abruptly impacted by the war in Ukraine. In this episode, Nadia talks about her life as a parent of a child with GRIN2B, the remarkable support her family received from the GRIN2B Foundation and rare disease community.</p> <p><em>Nadia was interviewed by guest host Kristina Inman, a second year genetic counseling student.

Navigating Genetic Testing in Pregnancy & the Path to FiND Genetics
<p>When Ushta was pregnant with her third child, she found herself being told which tests she would be having done—rather than being offered options and having them explained to her. As a genetic counselor working in reproductive genetics, she had also started fielding many questions from individuals looking for more insight and direction in a time of expanding prenatal testing options. These experiences led her to leave her role in industry and start her own company: <a href="https://www.findgenetics.com/">FiND Genetics</a>, an independent telemedicine genetics consulting practice. Ushta shares the path that led her to FiND Genetics, her perspective on recent changes within the field of genetic counseling, and how genetic counseling can empower patients to make informed decisions.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Links and Resources</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.findgenetics.com/">FiND Genetics</a></p> <p><a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/genotypecast/episodes/Prenatal-Screening--False-Positives--and-NYTs-Coverage-e1citbc">Genotypecast Interview with Katie Stoll: Prenatal Screening, False Positives, and NYT's Coverage</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Connect with Ushta on Social Media</strong></p> <p>Ushta and FiND Genetics on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/findgenetics/">@findgenetics</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ushta">Ushta on LinkedIn</a><br></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/patient-stories-with-grey-genetics/message
