SUMMARY:Can-GARD/CCMG – The Leading Strand Series
DESCRIPTION:This series is for genetics health professionals led by the Canadian College of Medical Genetics and co-sponsored by Can-GARD. Speakers will be translation-focused researchers\, clinicians and innovators.  The series will help attendees anticipate\, access\, and apply new approaches and technologies for patient care. \nThe Can-GARD/CCMG Leading Strand Series is a self-approved group learning activity (Section 1) as defined by the Maintenance of Certification Program of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. \nWe are pleased to share that as of the 2026/2027 season\, the Garrod Association will be providing two presentations per season. \nTo register\, click the button below or go to: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_e2yO6xnsSK2v70BLslqwjA  \n \n  \n  \n  \n2025-2026 Leading Strand Series:\nFriday December 12\, 2025 at 12:30pm – 1:30pm ET*\n*Please note the later time of 12:30pm ET. \nThinkRare: Harnessing AI for the Early Identification of Patients with Undiagnosed Rare Genetic Diseases \nImproving the identification and diagnosis of rare genetic diseases (RGD) is recognized as a global challenge\, as patients often face a long “diagnostic odyssey” due to limited physician awareness and delayed referrals for genetic testing. In response to the Global Commission’s call to leverage technology\, we developed an AI-driven\, rule-based algorithm to search electronic medical records and flag potential undiagnosed RGD patients for referral to genetics. By validating results through medical record review and tracking subsequent diagnoses\, this approach aims to shorten diagnostic delays\, enhance patient care\, and improve outcomes for individuals and families affected by RGDs. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDescribe AI approaches to identify undiagnosed rare genetic disease patients in electronic health records.\nDiscuss lessons learned through development of the ThinkRare algorithm at CHEO.\nExamine the potential impact of ThinkRare on Genetics and Non-Genetics clinicians.\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Kym Boycott \nKym Boycott is a Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Ottawa in Canada\, where she is a Clinical Geneticist at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO)\, Chair of the Department of Genetics\, a Senior Scientist at the CHEO Research Institute\, and holds a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Rare Disease Precision Health. She leads the national Care4Rare Canada Consortium\, Rare Disease Models and Mechanisms Network\, and the All for One Precision Health Initiative\, integrating genomic\, other –omics\, data sharing\, and model systems to improve our understanding of rare disease. \nFriday January 30\, 2026\nFriday February 27\, 2026\nFriday March 27\, 2026 \nFriday April 24\, 2026\nFriday May 29\, 2026\nFriday June 26\, 2026
