Genetic testing for disease susceptibilities: consequences for genetic counseling.

Trends in molecular medicine - 1 Jun 2002

Pagon Roberta A

Abstract excerpt

The role of genetic counseling in future testing for inherited susceptibilities for common diseases is debated. Currently, genetic testing, ideally supported by genetic counseling, is most often used to modify the assessment of genetic risk of Mendelian-inherited disease in high-risk individuals for the purpose of personal decision-making. By contrast, it is anticipated that genetic testing will be used to...
