I sit down with Emily Goldberg, Genetic Counselor for JScreen.  JScreen is a nonprofit that provides cancer genetics testing, but also has a reproductive carrier screening panel. Most patients choose saliva but sometimes blood is chosen by mobile phlebotomy.  JScreen which started in Atlanta, provides testing and counseling in all 50 states.  Pricing is unique because they are a non-profit.  Cancer genetics was launched 3 years ago at JScreen and the numbers have increased dramatically with people wanting to have genetic testing.  There's still wait times for cancer genetic appointments, so there's a need for services like JScreen.  Variants of Uncertain Significance still happen regularly, about 20% of the time.  Historically they get classified over time as benign.  Cascade testing, or getting other family members tested after one tests positive, continues to be an issue in the space.    

A physician-scientist father shares his heartbreaking story of the death of his daughter who was diagnosed with Tay-Sachs disease and how it motivated him to become the CEO of JScreen to prevent this experience in other families.  Matt Goldstein is a physician-scientist and entrepreneur. He has founded companies, built R&D teams, and led strategy and execution of both pre-clinical research and clinical development. Prior to joining JScreen and Emory University, Matt was a Partner at Related Sciences, a venture creation firm. As an entrepreneur at Third Rock Ventures he spent a decade building and operating Third Rock portfolio companies. He was responsible for building and leading the Immunology program at Tango Therapeutics, the centerpiece of Tango's strategic multi-billion dollar partnership with Gilead Sciences, Inc. He also served as the development head for Tango's lead program which entered the clinic in 1H 2022. Matt was a co-founder of Neon Therapeutics leading Translational Medicine and Early Development through completion of their first clinical study and initial public offering. He is a graduate of Swarthmore College and the MD/PhD program at Stanford University, where he pioneered novel cancer immunotherapies in the lab of Ron Levy, MD. He completed his clinical training in Internal Medicine at Harvard Medical School, Brigham & Women's Hospital. He lives in Boston with his wife, Myra, their second daughter Kaia and son Ezra. His oldest daughter Havi died on January 20th, 2021 of Tay-Sachs disease. A quick update that during the episode Matthew mentioned there are 4,000 genetic counselors in the USA, this number has now surpassed 5,000.   During the episode, Matthew recommends the book Bearing the Unbearable: Love, Loss, and the Heartbreaking Path of Grief by Dr. Joanne Cacciatore.    Check out his wife, Myra's organization, Emotion, which is for grieving individuals to find community and cope with loss.    In our next episode we will chat with Myra about Emotion and her upcoming book, Fifty-Seven Fridays, which consists of memoirs from Matt and Myra, Havi's diagnosis, and how they celebrated her life.    Stay tuned for the next new episode of It Happened To Me!

This week on Unorthodox, we're talking all things Jewish pregnancy, from traditions and superstitions to genetic testing and fertility treatment. First we hear from Estie Rose, a genetic counselor and outreach coordinator for JScreen, a genetic testing nonprofit based at Emory University, about the importance of screening for Tay-Sachs, the BRCA gene, and other specifically Jewish conditions when planning for pregnancy. Then Dr. Bat-Sheva Maslow, a reproductive endocrinologist at Extend Fertility, explains halachic infertility, how common it really is, and what experts like them can do to solve/cure/manage fertility challenges. Next, we dive into the superstitions that arise when you're expecting Jewishly. To cover what these traditions are and why they have such a strong hold over so many of us, we turn to Rabbi Mychal Springer, adjunct professor at Jewish Theological Seminary and manager of clinical pastoral education at New York Presbyterian Hospital, Dara Horn, whose forthcoming book is People Love Dead Jews, and Esther Levy-Chehebar, a Tablet contributor who has written about her family's Syrian Jewish pregnancy traditions. Then Rabbi Miriam-Simma Walfish, faculty and senior pedagogy coach at the Hadar Institute, tells us about some of the biblical mothers whose stories still resonate today. Finally, we speak to Anita Diamant, the bestselling author of novels like The Red Tent, about her pregnancy guide The New Jewish Baby Book and why we spend so much time puzzling over baby names.
