🧬 Genetics in Pregnancy, Rare Diseases and Cancer

🌟 Had a wonderful experience being part of the CME on Neurogenetics at MS Ramaiah University! 🌟

I was invited as faculty to speak on the approach to genetic testing in neurology and its limitations. We had a lively session with plenty of real-world case discussions that showed how choosing the right test and careful interpretation can make all the difference for patients. The audience was especially engaged when we spoke about the challenges and boundaries of genetic testing — a reminder that genetics is as much about critical thinking as it is about technology.

A big thank you to Dr. Prabhudev Hiremath and the entire Department of Neurology for the kind invite 🙏. Also grateful to fellow speakers Dr. Preetha, Dr. Kuna Kalra, Dr. Shridhar Joshi, and Dr. Neerja Reddy for their excellent talks. Excited for more collaborations ahead! 💫

🌟 Resolving VUS - Honored to Speak at PGIMER Chandigarh on Variant Interpretation in Genomics! 🌟
It was a privilege to be a faculty at the recent CME cum workshop on Genomic Variant Interpretation in Clinical Practice, organized by my alma mater, PGIMER Chandigarh, on March 1-2, 2025.
The sessions focused on ACMG criteria for variant classification, with a special emphasis on the persistent challenge of Variants of Uncertain Significance (VUS). My talk specifically explored how literature reviews can aid in reclassifying VUS, helping clinicians make more informed decisions.
A section on the use of AI for literature search sparked a fascinating debate — some were in awe of its potential, while others voiced valid concerns. This highlights the need for judicious use of AI: not as a replacement, but as a tool to empower doctors, ensuring decisions are guided by expertise, not algorithms alone.
The global challenge of resolving VUS was evident from the discussions with international faculty. Moving forward, more research, scalable functional studies, stronger collaboration between research groups, and better data sharing through public databases are crucial to making progress.

Department of Rare Genetic Diseases

If your child is experiencing unexplained developmental delays, autism, seizures, or appears different from other children, genetic testing may provide insight. Additionally, conditions such as recurrent infections, short stature, heart or kidney problems, and vision or hearing issues could also have a genetic basis. Genetidoc Genetic Clinic and DNA Testing Center has experts dealing with such cases.

Department of Cancer Genetics

If there is a history of cancer in several family members, multiple cancers in the same individual, rare types of cancer, or cancers diagnosed at a young age, you or your family may be at an increased risk for hereditary forms of cancer, and can take an appointment with Genetidoc Genetic Clinic and DNA Testing Lab to get tested for it.

Department of Preventive Genomics

Genetic testing can help identify tailor made solutions for your genetic make up – like which medicines are better suited for you, how likely you are to develop certain diseases etc. You can consult Genetidoc Genetic Clinic and DNA Testing Lab for a Genetic Counselling session, to discuss how such tests can help you.

Although recently established, the team brings over 5 years of dedicated experience in medical genetics, having collectively managed more than 10,000 cases across a wide range of genetic disorders.

” Our newborn was suspected to have biotinidase deficiency through newborn screening. The initial doctor was uncertain about what to do, but Dr. Roshan knew exactly how to proceed. He ran further tests to confirm that our baby was actually affected. He started our baby on biotin immediately, and thanks to his swift action and clear guidance, our child is perfectly healthy today. Dr. Roshan’s expertise and confidence in managing such a rare condition made all the difference for our family. “

” As the daughter of a breast cancer survivor, I was terrified when I came to Dr. Roshan. My family has a history of breast and ovarian cancers, and I wanted to know my risk. Dr. Roshan recommended testing my mother first, which revealed a genetic mutation. Testing confirmed I had inherited it too. Thanks to Dr. Roshan’s meticulous approach, I’ve been on a surveillance plan, catching potential risks early. His expertise and patient-centered care gave me the tools to protect my future. “

” We came to Dr. Roshan after an abnormal ultrasound marker in our twin pregnancy. We were struggling to make sense of the risks. Dr. Roshan was incredibly empathetic and guided us through every step with clarity and compassion. After invasive testing, we discovered that one twin was affected with a condition called Down Syndrome. Through expert counseling, we made the  decision for selective reduction and saved the healthy baby. Today, our baby is thriving, and we owe it to Dr. Roshan’s expertise and emotional support during this challenging time. ”
