About Hello and Welcome to TheGeneScene! I’m Simran, the voice behind TheGeneScene. As a board-certified Genetic Counselor with a Diploma in Counseling and Family Therapy, I've guided over 150 families through their genetic testing journeys, offering compassionate support and empathy.

TheGeneScene A place where we are passionate about spreading awareness and education about the importance of genetic disorders. Our goal is to help individuals and families with rare disorders and to provide them with the resources they need to enhance their well-being. Have you ever heard the saying, "When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras?" In medicine, this proverb highlights the importance of considering common ailments first. But what about the zebras – the rare diseases that often get overlooked? Rare But Not Uncommon. While individual rare diseases affect a small number of people, collectively, they impact millions globally. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) estimates over 7,000 rare diseases affecting more than 300 million individuals worldwide. Most healthcare providers, more often than not, prioritize frequent conditions. However, this can lead to overlooking less prevalent but potentially serious rare disorders. Early diagnosis is crucial for managing rare diseases effectively. By understanding the challenges and being your own healthcare advocate, you can increase your chances of a timely and accurate diagnosis. About Hello and Welcome to TheGeneScene!
