Determining actionability of genetic findings in clinical practice

Just as radiology screenings can return results of incidentalomas, genetic scans can also return inadvertent findings. But some guidance can be taken from criteria developed in 1968 for adopting any screening test.

Microscopic genes affected by macroeconomic events

Genes may express themselves differently, depending upon their environment. So, economic disparities and differences in access to health care could impact a person's health. In an era of personalized care, technology, biology and business intersect in novel ways.

Cancer's cure may be found by using the right diagnostic tree

Advances in the understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of cancer, rooted in knowledge of the genetic derangements underpinning each tumor type, leads to the question of whether clinicians should classify cancers by their tissue of origin, or their mutation of origin. Which diagnostic tree is the better example?.

Can the electronic medical record contain an entire genome?

Genetic records create data by the petabyte. That's a number with 15 zeros trailing along. That's 1,000,000,000,000,000 bytes. That's a lot of data for primary care physicians to manage as genetic tests become more common.

Court case questions patentability of human genomic structure

The human genome is not only known, but owned, to a certain extent. The effect is a chill on medical research, impaired diagnostic testing and companies unwilling to risk research ##amp; development funds for projects with no payoff.
