New research developments in the molecular genetics of cancer have led to the feasibility of cancer genetic testing. At present, genetic test results can better inform individuals at risk about appropriately tailored strategies for cancer screening and prevention. In the future, more persons will be eligible for genetic evaluation; in particular, if it

Preimplantation genetic testing
BMJ, 2012#### Summary points Preimplantation genetic (PG) testing is the practice of obtaining a cellular biopsy sample from a developing human oocyte or embryo, acquired via a cycle of in vitro fertilisation (IVF); evaluating the genetic composition of this sample; and using this information to determine which embryos will be optimal for subsequent uterine ...

Genetic Testing in Hyperlipidemia
Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 2015Hereditary dyslipidemias are often underdiagnosed and undertreated, yet with significant health implications, most importantly causing preventable premature cardiovascular diseases. The commonly used clinical criteria to diagnose hereditary lipid disorders are specific but are not very sensitive.

Genetics and genetic testing for glaucoma
Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 2017In recent decades, investigators have identified numerous genes and genetic factors that cause or contribute risk for glaucoma. These findings have increased our understanding of disease mechanisms, provided us with new diagnostic tools, and may allow for development of improved therapies for glaucoma. However, genetic testing is most useful when it is

Annals of Surgical Oncology, 2014
The commercial introduction of next-generation sequencing has made it possible to test for mutations in all known or suspected breast cancer predisposition genes in one panel, at one time, for about the same cost as a BRCA gene test. Clinicians are increasingly presented with the challenge of advising patients with mutations in rare breast cancer ...

Genetic testing, genetic screening and privacy
1999For moral philosophers and lawyers one of the most embarrassing characteristics of genetics is that it touches intergenerational problems. It follows from the intergenerational nature of genetics that it is difficult to draw the line between medical and non-medical information produced by genetic testing or screening.
