Over the last decade, technical advances have allowed genomic
testing which provides a great opportunity for diagnosis but also
an increased chance of uncertain or unexpected findings. This book
addresses many of the questions that arise in this context and
summarizes the essential concepts in diagnostic genetic testing in
an easy-to-read manner. It also covers some broad context for the
practical and ethical implications of examining human DNA
sequences. The book starts with a general introduction to the
field, providing enough background to allow readers without any
previous education in genetics to comprehend the material in the
subsequent chapters. The main part explores differing aspects of
human genetics and the wider implications of testing in these
areas. The author covers not only single gene inheritance, but also
genetic testing of cancers and how testing benefits the patients.
Special emphasis is also given to the questions of genetics and
identity. The concluding part then draws the main themes together
and summarises the wider significance of genetics. It also explores
the gap between promises made for the impact of advances in
genetics, and the actual benefits to patients. The book is written
for everyone interested to learn about the process of genetic
testing and the broader implications. Moreover, it is aimed at
health professionals with an interest in genetics, at students or
scientific trainees looking for an introduction to diagnostic
genetics, and at professionals in health policy or health
journalism.
