Which statement best describes you? |
I am comfortable making my genome sequence data publicly available without prior review. |
Severe disease or rare genetic trait |
Yes |
Do you have a severe genetic disease or rare genetic trait? If so, you can add a description for your public profile. |
Though I am only 52, I have experienced a number of significant medical issues that may well be characterized as rare or severe:
At 28 I was diagnosed with massive brain bleed and underwent a craniotomy for a partial resection of my left parietal lobe. Though there was a significant loss of brain due to both the bleed and surgery, there were no obvious neurological after effects, leading my neurologist to conclude that the bleed was congenital (AVM) and had been present since birth, resulting in constant small damage, and allowing my brain to rewire itself as it developed (rather than the trauma that would result if the same area of my brain were damaged in adulthood all at once.
At 47 I was diagnosed with Kidney Cancer (renal cell carcinoma) via an incidental finding during an appendectomy follow-up.
At 48, while recovering from the Kidney Cancer surgery, I began to have movement difficulties and was eventually diagnosed with a 6.5cm meningioma that was removed via craniotomy (and was located proximate to the previous AVM surgery) - subsequently additional small tumors (also meningioma or perhaps schwanoma) have been discovered via imaging.
And last, but not least, I am transgender (MtF), an awareness I have had since I was approx. 2 years old (and well before I had the vocabulary or analytical tools to understand what it meant.) |

With respect to my meningiomas, I underwent an NF2 test (which turned out to be negative), but I have all of my brain MRI's available as DICOM files, showing both the meningiomas as well as the 'hole' left from the AVM resection. I would also be willing to share my doctor's notes
With respect to my kidney cancer, i have CT scan files available as DICOM files, and would also be willing to share my doctor's notes.

Although I am right handed, my father was left handed and I have some measure of comfort doing things with my opposite hand. In addition what is believed to be a congenital brain injury (AVM) in the left parietal lobe may have resulted in the migration of certain functions to the opposite lobe (hypothesis by neuropsychologist at Brown University after work up in the early '90s) |
