Genetics and Molecular Medicine: General Information

Genetic Testing: As the Human Genome Project (HGP) divulges new information, researchers are turning this raw information into genetic tests for not only serious symptomatic diseases, but also for predispositional conditions that appear later in life.

Pharmacogenetics: A brand new area of genetic testing involves testing a person's genetic code to determine the most efficient medication to prescribe; this is known as the field of pharmacogenetics. It will not be long before this field explodes, and the development of complex pharmaceuticals that are more specifically tailored towards smaller sub-populations (per an individual's genetic code) will become a field itself. A small change in a person's DNA is known as a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNPs).

Genetic Counseling: Genetic counseling is a communication process that deals with the human problems associated with the occurrence of a genetic disorder in a family. This process involves an attempt by one or more appropriately trained persons to help the individual or family to: (1) comprehend the medical facts including the diagnosis, probable course of the disorder and the available management, (2) appreciate the way heredity contributes to the disorder and the risk of recurrence in specified relatives, (3) understand the alternatives for dealing with the risk of recurrence, (4) choose a course of action which seems to them appropriate in view of their risk, their family goals, and their ethical and religious standards and act in accordance with that decision, and (5) to make the best possible adjustment to the disorder in an affected family member and/or to the risk of recurrence of that disorder. (American Society of Human Genetics, 1975)
