In Managing Health in the Genomic Era: A Guide to Family Health
History and Disease Risk, Drs. Vincent C. Henrich, Lori A. Orlando,
and Brian H. Shirts discuss the practical considerations
surrounding the use of genomic and genetic tests to manage patient
health, to provide adult disease risk assessment, to improve
diagnosis, and to support effective interventions and treatment. In
10 chapters, evidence-based information and case studies are
described and examine the central place of family health history
(FHH) in genomic medicine, tools and strategies for compiling and
analyzing family health history, how to identify existing and novel
genetic markers, how to identify lineage specific (or rare)
variants within families, and how to find effective interventions
based on genetic testing results and FHH. Factors that influence
clinical practice, including gene-environment interactions, FHH
social networking, direct to consumer (DTC) genetic testing and
data sharing, algorithms for analyzing genetic data, and patient
counseling are discussed from the standpoint of clinical practice.
Here, frontline healthcare providers will discover succinct
commentary and key examples to assist with their local needs.
Relevant principles of genetic biology and inheritance are explored
and guidance on available support networks and online resources is
also provided.
