Part 1-Gene Therapy: A Genetic Counselor’s Perspective
Manage episode 275190456 series 60790
Genetic counselors play a unique role in the medical life of a person with a rare disease. They can serve as guide, translator, and trusted advisor. In this first part of our four part series on gene therapies, we spoke to genetic counselor Stephanie Gandomi, a Global Genes advocacy resource, about gene therapies, the role genetic counselors play in working with rare disease patients, and the considerations rare disease patients may make about whether to pursue a gene therapy through a clinical trial.
This series is made possible through support from BioMarin, Pfizer, Retrophin, Novartis Gene Therapies (formerly AveXis), UCB Inc., Genentech, Ultragenyx, Novartis, RegenxBIO, and Sangamo Therapeutics.
