Genetic Testing is the definitive resource for molecular geneticists, genetic counselors, researchers, clinicians, and scientists who develop, perform, and interpret genetic tests and their results. The journal covers all aspects of genetic testing, including molecular, biochemical, and varied sets of clinical situations; ethical, legal, social, and economic aspects of genetic testing; and issues concerning effective genetic counseling.
With approximately 2,000 genes identified, and over 4,000 diseases caused by genetic defects, genetic testing has become an increasingly important part of medical practice. For many inherited diseases, genetic testing provides the definitive diagnosis.
The next frontier, testing for inherited predisposition to common diseases such as cancer and heart disease, is emerging. With advances in technology and additional knowledge concerning the relationship between genetic variations in health, genetic testing will soon become a routine part of healthcare for all, not just those with rare, inherited diseases.
Topics covered include:
- Diagnosis across the life span
- Risk assessment
- Carrier detection in individuals, couples, and populations
- Novel methods and new instrumentation for genetic testing
- Results of molecular, biochemical, and cytogenetic testing
- Genetic counseling
- Ethical, legal, and economic issues
