Описание: Genetic counselors advise patients and families affected by or at risk of genetic disorders. They educate them about inheritance, diseases, and screening tests, interpret medical histories and test results, and help families cope with diagnoses and make informed medical decisions. The
profession is rapidly evolving and is poised to play an increasingly important role in society as genome sequencing becomes routine clinical practice.

This collection from Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine captures the current state of genetic counseling and examines the changing roles of genetic counselors in the genomic age. The contributors discuss the range of genetics-related needs people bring to counselors, existing and emerging
technologies for genetic testing, challenges related to the abundance of recent discoveries about genetic diseases, the ways in which genetic counseling is integrated into modern medicine, and the expanding roles of genetic counselors beyond the clinical setting. The current and evolving practices
in different counseling subspecialties, including infertility, prenatal care, pediatrics, cardiology, neurology, psychiatry, and cancer, are also covered.

Other topics in the volume include ethical, legal, and social issues (e.g., genetic testing of minors, genetic discrimination, and obtaining informed consent for genomic testing), as well as the future of the profession. The volume is therefore an essential read for practicing genetic counselors, as
well as all biomedical scientists and health professionals dedicated to using genetic and genomic information to improve the lives of individuals and their families.

Описание: The third edition of this clear, reader-friendly guide, the author addresses the challenge of calculations in genetic counselling and demonstrates how risk can be estimated for inherited disorders using a basic knowledge of the laws of probability and their application to clinical problems. The text employs a wealth of clearly explained examples and "key points" in order to guide the reader to an accurate assessment of the risk of genetic disease.

Описание: Abstract:

This study was part of an Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications of the Human Genome Project (ELSI) grant funded by the Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) . It was conducted under the aegis of the Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia, and the University of Florida College of Medicine in Gainesville, Florida. As part of the project, the current study sought to answer the following questions: 1) What are the qualifications and training of professionals in the southeastern United States who provide genetic counseling? 2) Who routinely does and who should do genetic counseling? and 3) What are the educational methods used by the different health professionals in genetic counseling? A self-administered mail survey was sent to 325 potential genetic counseling professionals in the southeastern United States (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee) . Two hundred four persons volunteered for the study. Genetic associates (31%), physicians (30%), and nurses represent the three largest groups of health professionals involved in the genetic counseling process. Genetic counseling is usually a team activity. The majority of respondents reported that social workers are not and should not routinely be involved in genetic counseling. Genetic associates are well trained in human genetics and counseling techniques, but like physicians and nurses have much room for improvement in the educative aspect of counseling. Physicians have more years of experience (13 years) doing genetic counseling than genetic associates (6 years) and nurses (6 years) but the bulk of their training apparently comes from supervised clinical training rather than formal courses in human genetics, counseling techniques, and educational methods and principles.

Nurses and genetic associates have comprable years of experience but nurses lack the formal courses in human genetics and counseling techniques. The majority of all respondents had no formal training in educational methods and principles. Educational techniques such as assessing clients' educational level and asking patients to repeat information in their own words were not always utilized. Recognizing professional limitations and formal training in human genetics are the only two factors perceived to increase counseling effectiveness. Policy recommendations are given.

Описание: This book provides an elaboration and evaluation of the dominant conceptions of genetic counseling as they are accounted for in three different models: the teaching model; the psychotherapeutic model; and the responsibility model. The elaboration of these models involves an identification of the larger traditions, visions and theories of communication that underwrite them; the evaluation entails an assessment of each model’s theses and ultimately a comparison of their adequacy in response to two important concerns in genetic counseling: the contested values of non-directiveness and the recognition of differences across perspectives, with special focus on how religious and spiritual beliefs of patients are coordinated with the networks of meaning in genetics. Several insights are made explicit in this project through the work of Robert Brandom. Brandom’s deontic scorekeeping model demonstrates how dialogue is at the root of grasping a conceptual content. Against this backdrop, professional communications such as genetic counseling can be seen as late developments in linguistic practices that have structural challenges. Brandom’s model reminds us that the professional needs the client’s understanding to grasp conceptual content in a particular context.

Описание: In this compilation, the authors describe the psychological consequences and effects of predictive cancer genetic testing in both breast and ovarian cancer. Predictive genetic tests are being offered to an increasing number of women as the availability and public awareness of genetic testing increases. Next, A Comprehensive Guide to Genetic Counseling assesses the parental psychosocial implications, such as emotions and coping, regarding the earlier diagnosis of Usher syndrome via genetic testing compared to parents of children who were diagnosed later via ophthalmologic findings The closing chapter reports on a comprehensive analysis of the studies performed on genetic counseling, particularly those pertaining to the Israeli Arab society. Furthermore, an overview of the various socio-demographic, economic, cultural and religious aspects is provided.

Описание: Chromosome Abnormalities and Genetic Counseling deals with these universal questions, and in the context of the recent developments in molecular cytogenetic analysis, but retaining always the major focus on the needs of the families in which these conditions occur. Thoroughly updated once again, this richly-illustrated text combines basic concepts of chromosomal analysis with practical applications of recent advances in molecular cytogentics. The book will give counselors the information that will enable them to help concerned parents accommodate and adapt to their particular chromosomal challenges and to determine what may be, for them, the best course of action.
