POSTING CRITERIA: Anything that relates to clinical genetics is welcome here so long as it follows these guidelines:

WE DO NOT ALLOW PERSONAL MEDICAL ADVICE POSTS. IF YOU ARE WONDERING IF YOU SHOULD SEE A DOCTOR, THE ANSWER IS YES. Posting medical advice is against Reddit's user agreement. Further, internet medical advice is worthless clinically since a physician can't understand an illness over the internet and because you can't verify their credentials. Health concerns need to be evaluated in person, and posts of this type will be removed.
Scientific posts or posts which otherwise rely on evidence (for example, a story about a medical breakthrough) must be from peer-reviewed medical journals or other reputable sources. --If you do not have access to an article that is posted here, send the mods a PM with your professional email address and one of us will forward you the PDF version.-- If the information absolutely cannot be found in a journal, it must be from a respectable news source which cites its sources. Posts which violate this or which have sensationalized titles are subject to removal - we have a standard of intellectual honesty which we want to continue.
No memes. We welcome personal submissions and well-written concerns or stories, but please present them in a more intelligent fashion.
No job postings. If you have a position available through your organization, contact the ABGC, NSGC, CAGC, or your local genetic counseling organization to share your job posting through them.
