I felt so inspired writing this story about @TJBichell, who became a neuroscientist in her 50s because of her son's rare condition. My latest for @Nature: nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
How a midwife became a neuroscientist to seek a cure for her son

Now @curestxbp1 presented by @IngoHelbig . Please, @CDCgov what stops you from adding #icd10 codes for genetic disorders? Code for #AngelmanSyndrome found >3500 patients in 3yrs by @AmbitCare claims analysis. Rare codes help @combined_brain disorders. @AANmember @AmerAcadPeds
