How to Create a Study Plan for the Genetic Counseling Board Exam | Featuring Brianna Tucker, MS, CGC
We are joined by Brianna Tucker, MS, CGC, a genetic counselor who graduated from Stanford's Genetic Counseling program in 2023. Brianna discusses her approach for creating a successful 6-month study plan for the ABGC board exam, which she took in March 2024.
Brianna used multiple strategies including flashcards with spaced repetition, flowcharts, and even songs to help learn the material. Brianna created a study planner and progress tracker using Google sheets, which she walks us through in the second half of the video. Brianna also discusses some of the challenges she faced in creating a study plan and how she held herself accountable while studying.

In this video, we continue our discussion of imprinting disorders by focusing on Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) and Russell-Silver syndrome (RSS). These two conditions are associated with changes in the imprinted regions on chromosome 11p15. We delve into the genetic mechanisms underlying these disorders, including epigenetic alterations, copy number variations, and uniparental disomy (UPD)....

These disorders arise from changes in the imprinted region 15q11.2-q13, also known as the Prader-Willi / Angelman critical region. We explore the genetic mechanisms behind these disorders, including microdeletions (most commonly), uniparental disomy (UPD), a...
Risk calculations involving consanguinity (for the ABGC exam)
Переглядів 1253 місяці тому
In today's video, we calculate the risk for a couple (who are 1st cousins) of having a child with Joubert syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder. This approach can be generally used for calculating the risk for recessive disorders in any pedigree where consanguinity is present. We also contrast this approach with the approach to risk calculations when there is no consanguinity present. The 2...

    • @studyrare
      @studyrare Рік тому

      Hello, yes, the criteria for nuchal fold thickness changes with gestational age. At 20 weeks, the nuchal fold thickness is usually less than 6 mm. I would recommend following up with your OBGYN with any additional questions related to your pregnancy. Wishing you all the best! www.cuh.nhs.uk/patient-information/increased-nuchal-fold-nf/

      Hello, I apologize for the delayed response. Cystic hygromas can sometimes happen on their own, though can also be associated with underlying genetic disorders like Down syndrome, Turner syndrome or Noonan syndrome. The findings of a cystic hygroma usually warrants closer follow-up by your local OBGYN.

  • @BradleyH
    @BradleyH Рік тому

    Thank you for this video. Your slide at 2-3 mins says Biotin (vitamin B2) as a cofactor of glutaryl CoA. Can you clarify? Is it both biotin + B2? Or is there a possible mistake of calling B2 as biotin, or riboflavin as B7?

    • @studyrare
      @studyrare Рік тому

      Thank you for your comment. Yes, you are correct, this should read as "Riboflavin (vitamin B2)". Biotin is not a cofactor for glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase. The acyl-CoA dehydrogenases (including glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase) all use FAD (flavin adenine dinucleotide) as a cofactor. Ribo'flavin' is a precursor to FAD and is therefore a cofactor for this family of enzymes.

    Is the NT value the lower the better? I am 13w and my Nt was 2.4mm, Crl 67mm. Is 2mm considered safer than 2.4mm? Or as long as Nt value is <95% it doesn’t matter? Thank you

    • @studyrare
      @studyrare Рік тому

      Thank you for your question. In general, as long as NT value is <95%, then you are within the range of normal NT values in for 95% of healthy pregnancies. We would say that you are not at any increased risk for fetal anomalies with an NT below 95%. There is some variability in NT values within healthy pregnancies, and lower is not necessarily "better". As an example, your pregnancy would not be at an increased risk being at the 90th percentile compared with the 50th percentile, assuming no other anomalies were found.

      @studyrare Рік тому

      Hello Anna, thank you for your message. It is hard for me to say based on the NT value alone. If this was the only finding, then based on the chart in minute 3, the most likely outcome would still be a healthy pregnancy. Your OBGYN would be best equipped to answer this question and can combine the ultrasound fundings and any other studies to help put the NT value into context and discuss next steps.

      Hello Nasrin, thank you for your message. The nuchal fold thickness 2.6 mm at your gestational age would generally not qualify as thick. However, I unfortunately cannot give medical advice over the internet, this is something that can be best discussed with your local OBGYN.
