The Internet provides a context through which unconven- tional applications of genetic testing can become commercially available. Although some sites offered health-related genetic tests that are associated with routine clinical practice, includ- ing tests for hemochromatosis, cystic fibrosis, and alpha-...
genetic testingpopulation screeningtest utilizationWe sought to determine the costs of genetic testing and compliance with published guidelines and clinical best practices at our institution. A cost analysis was performed comparing the costs of ordered tests to the cost of the recommended testing. This ...

ARTICLE Impact of gene patents and licensing practices on access to genetic testing for hereditary hemochromatosis Subhashini Chandrasekharan, PhD1, Emily Pitlick, JD2, Christopher Heaney, BA1, and Robert Cook-Deegan, MD1 Abstract: Hereditary hemochromatosis is an iron metabolism disorder that leads ...
A mother, Phaedra Malatek, described how her family has not taken advantage of the health benefits of genetic testing for hemochromatosis that ran in her family because of their fear of losing their health insurance, and possible discrimination against her children when they seek employment. ...
Hereditary hemochromatosis screening: effect of mutation penetrance and prevalence on cost-effectiveness of testing algorithms Screening for hereditary hemochromatosis, although largely discussed, is not yet implemented in clinical practice. We evaluated the cost-effectiveness of 1... G,Gagné,D,... - ...
Presymptomatic testing can determine whether a person will develop a genetic disorder, such as hemochromatosis (an iron overload disorder), before any signs or symptoms appear. The results of predictive and presymptomatic testing can provide information about a person’s risk of developing a specific...
DNA-based HFE gene testing can confirm hereditary hemochromatosis in most people of Northern European descent. However, liver biopsy is important to detect... Morrison,D Elizabeth - 《Annals of Internal Medicine》 被引量: 480发表: 2003年 The Clinical Relevance of Compound Heterozygosity for the C2...
There are no studies on patients' experience and understanding of the process of testing for common genetic susceptibilities in mainstream medicine. Methods Qualitative interviews with 42 individuals who had undergone testing for a genetic susceptibility for deep vein thrombosis in primary and secondary ...
Genetic Testing Since the Human Genome Project was completed in 2003,104 sequencing has become faster and less expensive. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) offers a more complete genetic picture with a cost that is equal to or less expensive than gene panels.105 Genetic ascertainment of suspected fami...
