Using a MOOC to engage participants in a
new profession

2. A quick aside
“I need to have a think about a new
presentation I am giving it called a
Pecha Kucha “
“Sounds like an Japanese fruit or an
Amazonian bird!”
14. Article: The Power of Data Sharing for Rare
Disease
Hunting down my son's killer
[@mattmight] I found my son's killer.
It took three years.
But we did it.
15. Stimulating Discussion
So Why Should We Share Data?
One of the key points discussed in the article by
Might and Wilsey is the importance of sharing data;
“Share early, share often” to aid in the diagnosis of
current and future patients that may present with
the same symptoms, thus enabling genotype to be
linked to phenotype. Now in the age of the internet
and social media it should be possible to collate such
genetic information but importantly in a safe way
that is consented for by the patient or their
representative and accessible by genetic healthcare
professionals and specialist clinicians that care for
these patients.
Over to you
What are the benefits of sharing clinical genomic
data?
What are the potential drawbacks?
What is DECIPHER and what could be learnt from this
initiative in terms of data sharing?
16. Discussion leading to further research opporunities
“faster and
improved diagnosis -
so better outcome
for the patient”
18. Impacting genomics through shared learning
Practitioner:
Having recruited and
consented a number of
patients and families to the
100,000 Genomes Project
for rare diseases, my
experience is that in general
most patients tend to have
surprisingly few questions
about the consent form.
Patient:
I joined a genetic research project because I
have rare blood cancer.……
I felt a sense of duty almost, since there are only
about 150,000 people in the world with this
particular cancer
Patient:
As a patient who has had genetic testing, I don't
have a problem with my genetic data being
shared for research purposes, if it is
anonymised………I think research is really
important,

Editor's Notes
Using NGS sequencing technologies we can relatively cheaply sequence a panel of genes relating to a particular condition or disorder, sequence exomes, the protein coding parts of genomes or entire genomes and select virtually for the gene or panel of genes that we would like to analyse
NGS technologies that are routinely used in clinical laboratories rely on a technology that fragments and enriches and then barcodes your target of interest.
When sequenced this will typically create in the region of GB of data per sample for a gene panel of around 100 genes
Hence before further analysis can be undertaken there is a computationally resource intensive step of reassembling all of the fragments back together and ensuring that you have sufficient coverage of your area of interest

Narrative approach - MOOC structured into five distinct areas that emulated the arc of a storyline.
Week 1 - the impact of Genomic Medicine in healthcare with and the importance of Clinical Bioinformatics in realising these benefits. This set the scene by introducing the main challenges facing genomic medicine
Week 2 neatly framed the practical issues involving Data and Diagnosis.
Week 3 - Tools and Workflow, brought the focus to the fundamentals of the bioinformatician’s role and was followed
Week 4 - Data & Ethics in week four which covered the wider issues.
Week 5 - Finally we returned to the clinical setting in order to apply the learning with an authentic set of case studies in week five. I looped back to previous steps to embellish the narrative, brought in reflective stories from healthcare professionals and reiterated key learning messages in a variety of formats to meet different learning styles
For some extremely rare conditions proposing/confirming a diagnosis is extremely difficult – particularly as often clinicians may not have seen anyone with a similar presenting phenotype. Therefore patients may set out on what is often described a diagnostic odyssey undergoing may genetic and biochemical tests
Social media combined with the internet and rare disease patient groups have in some instances may powerful changes in a positive direction, allowing the sharing of patient’s symptoms
and connecting patients with related phenotypes and suspected variants.
In this instance parents of children were the same phenottypes were connected and with further genetic testing NGLY1 deglycosylation disorder was confirmed
Even as the weeks tailed off the personalised scenario still got one of the most likes from the course.
This generated the most discussion and we were s
