FINDING LAUGHTER IN UNEXPECTED MOMENTS: A LESSON IN BEING PREPARED

Image
Today's blog is about an experience I had while visiting a religious site on the outskirts of town. As I was leaving, a lady approached me, asking for a donation. Unfortunately, I wasn’t carrying any cash at the time, so I asked her, "Do you use UPI by any chance?" She burst into laughter ๐Ÿ˜„, smiling at my unexpected question. The lesson here is that we should always be prepared with alternatives, as they might be a way to help others.  At the very least, I managed to put a smile on her face, which made the encounter worthwhile ๐Ÿ˜Š

Each offers unique insights: CMA identifies large-scale structural changes like copy number variations (CNVs), while WES investigates the exome; the protein-coding portion where most pathogenic mutations reside. ๐Ÿ”น CMA is a first-line tool for neurodevelopmental disorders, intellectual disability, and congenital anomalies. It scans for chromosomal imbalances missed by karyotyping, offering ~15–20% diagnostic yield in such cases. Its speed and cost-effectiveness make it a go-to for initial evaluations. ๐Ÿ”น WES, by contrast, dives into the exonic 1–2% of the genome that harbors ~85% of known disease-causing ...
