New in GeNotes: Nephrology launches today!

A brand-new collection of genomics resources for nephrologists has been launched today, adding to The National Genomics Education Programme’s flagship resource.

The timely and accurate diagnosis and triage of those who may have a genomic diagnosis underlying their renal disease is vital in ensuring the best outcomes for patients and families.  

This new collection was developed by an expert group led by Professor Dick Sandford and aims to support busy clinicians with navigating genomics in nephrology. It joins collections covering other specialties including neurology, oncology, paediatrics and cardiology.  

What is GeNotes? 

GeNotes is an online resource housing a collection of genomics-focused reference articles for medical professionals. The peer-to-peer articles are designed to support busy clinicians with the demands of identifying and understanding more about genetic conditions and how to navigate genomic testing.  

The first tier of resources, In the Clinic, features easy-to-follow, short summaries covering various presentations and explaining how to request testing, where relevant, through the National Genomic Test Directory. 

The second tier, the Knowledge Hub, features articles about genetic renal conditions like Dent disease as well as a catalogue of other genomics-focused learning resources covering concepts such as genetic inheritance and what we mean by the diagnostic odyssey. 

GeNotes resources are updated annually or bi-annually to ensure alignment with the test directory and other best practice guidelines. 

New additions  

The collection expands all the time, with new collections planned for the new year and spring.
