Genetic testing for neurodegenerative diseases: Ethical and health communication challenges.

Neurobiology of disease - 1 Jul 2020

Roberts J Scott, Patterson Anne K, Uhlmann Wendy R

Abstract excerpt

Advances in genomic science are informing an expansion of genetic testing for neurodegenerative diseases, which can be used for diagnostic and predictive purposes and performed in both medical and consumer genomics settings. Such testing-which is often for severe and incurable conditions like Huntington's, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's diseases-raises important ethical and health communication challenges. This...
