Download or read book Assessing Genetic Risks written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raising hopes for disease treatment and prevention, but also the specter of discrimination and "designer genes," genetic testing is potentially one of the most socially explosive developments of our time. This book presents a current assessment of this rapidly evolving field, offering principles for actions and research and recommendations on key issues in genetic testing and screening. Advantages of early genetic knowledge are balanced with issues associated with such knowledge: availability of treatment, privacy and discrimination, personal decision-making, public health objectives, cost, and more. Among the important issues covered: Quality control in genetic testing. Appropriate roles for public agencies, private health practitioners, and laboratories. Value-neutral education and counseling for persons considering testing. Use of test results in insurance, employment, and other settings.

Download or read book Genetic Screening to Determine Carrier Status written by Jenna Layne Wardrop and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was designed to determine what components of a genetic disorder patients use to determine if they are interested in carrier screening prior to conception or birth versus one that they feel can wait for testing until after birth. A short, anonymous questionnaire was designed to elicit which components of a genetic disorder determine whether or not a patient will be interested in preconceptional or prenatal carrier screening. One hundred twenty-four participants took part in this study during their visits to a genetic counselor for a preconceptional or prenatal genetic evaluation. Overall, participants were most interested in carrier screening for Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1, with 37% "very likely" to seek carrier screening. Participants were "very unlikely" to seek preconceptional or prenatal carrier screening for Cystic Fibrosis, Phenylketonuria, or Fragile X syndrome. However, these findings were not consistent when patients were stratified by language of choice (English or Spanish) or study site (two hospitals with different population demographics). English speaking patients were more interested in pursuing carrier screening than were Spanish speaking patients. Our results as a whole support our hypothesis that patients will choose carrier screening over newborn screening for disorders with a drastically shortened lifespan and that participants would be more interested in pursuing carrier screening for the most severe conditions for which there are no established treatments. As the demand for carrier screening increases along with the introduction of new testing options, the need for genetic counseling services will increase.
Download or read book An Evidence Framework for Genetic Testing written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-04-21 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in genetics and genomics are transforming medical practice, resulting in a dramatic growth of genetic testing in the health care system. The rapid development of new technologies, however, has also brought challenges, including the need for rigorous evaluation of the validity and utility of genetic tests, questions regarding the best ways to incorporate them into medical practice, and how to weigh their cost against potential short- and long-term benefits. As the availability of genetic tests increases so do concerns about the achievement of meaningful improvements in clinical outcomes, costs of testing, and the potential for accentuating medical care inequality. Given the rapid pace in the development of genetic tests and new testing technologies, An Evidence Framework for Genetic Testing seeks to advance the development of an adequate evidence base for genetic tests to improve patient care and treatment. Additionally, this report recommends a framework for decision-making regarding the use of genetic tests in clinical care.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This completely revised and updated second edition to integrates the many new technologies and insights now available for the diagnosis of genetic diseases. The authors use such methodologies as PCR optimization dosage analysis, mutation scanning, and quantitative fluorescent PCR for aneuploidy analysis, Neurofibromatosis type 1, and Duchenne muscular dystrophy. These largely generic methodologies may be adapted to most genetic conditions for which a molecular diagnosis is relevant, no matter how frequent or rare their incidence. Molecular Diagnosis of Genetic Diseases, Second Edition offers diagnostic molecular geneticists a unique opportunity to sharpen their scientific skills in the design of assays, their execution, and their interpretation.
