Pre-symptomatic genetic testing for inherited cardiac conditions: a qualitative exploration of psychosocial and ethical implications.

European journal of human genetics : EJHG - 1 Jan 2014

Ormondroyd Elizabeth, Oates Stephanie, Parker Michael, Blair Edward, Watkins Hugh

Abstract excerpt

Inherited cardiac conditions (ICCs) can lead to sudden cardiac death at any age, yet are often asymptomatic and clinically undetected. Prophylactic interventions are available and cascade testing is recommended to identify family members at risk. When a disease-causing mutation has been identified in a family, pre-symptomatic genetic testing (PSGT) is available. This study explores perceptions of the cascade...
