Unlike your parents, you may also have the option of genetic testing. These tests identify the likelihood of passing certain genetic diseases or disorders (those caused by a defect in the genes, the tiny, DNA-containing units of heredity that determine the characteristics and functioning of the entire body) to your children. Some of the more familiar genetic disorders are Down syndrome cystic fibrosis sickle cell anemia and Tay-Sachs disease (a fatal disease affecting the central nervous system). If

    Extractions: As discussed previously, genetic counseling refers to the provision of information regarding a genetic disorder or birth defect, the implications for current health, future development or psychosocial function, and follow-up care. It also refers to the provision of information to the patient or parents regarding the risk of occurrence or recurrence in future children and their reproductive options. The practice of medical genetics is similar to the practice of general medicine in that an accurate diagnosis needs to be established, and the prognosis and management, if any, needs to be discussed. However, a major difference lies in the fact that the diagnosis of a genetic disorder impacts not just the patient, but the immediate and extended family as well. For instance, clinical evaluation of family members may be necessary to establish a patient's diagnosis. The recognition that a person has a particular genetic disorder might also lead to the realization that other family members are at risk. Like a stone thrown in water, there is an ever widening circle of people who are touched when a patient is diagnosed with a genetic disorder. The diagnosis touches members of the immediate and extended family. It may also send ripples through social service agencies, the school system, the insurance and health systems, the community and society in general. Following a genetic diagnosis, numerous ethical and social issues may be raised. However, the main ethical principles of medicine still hold: autonomy, privacy, beneficence and non-malfeasance, and justice.

These studies make possible scientific breakthroughs which form the basis for early diagnosis, prevention, and/or new medical treatments for diseases which are incurable with our present knowledge.

    Extractions: Spectrum of genetic disorders and the impact on health care delivery: an introduction Volume 5, Issue 6, 1999, Page 1104-1113 M.A.F. El-Hazmi Introduction The spectrum of diseases affecting humankind is wide, ranging from those which are purely acquired (environmental) to those which are purely genetic ( Figure 1 ). Purely acquired disorders are those resulting from infections caused by a wide variety of microorganisms, and those due to nutritional deficiencies. For centuries these disorders have been a major cause of morbidity and mortality. However, over the past few decades, significant advances in immunization, the discovery of antibiotics, improvement in general hygiene and nutritional habits and an overall improvement of heath status have led to a significant shift, where the overall prevalence of acquired diseases has decreased considerably in most populations of the world. This has led to the surfacing of genetic disorders as a major cause of morbidity and mortality [ ]. These diseases include the purely genetic diseases, which may be either single-gene disorders or chromosomal disorders, and multifactorial disorders, which result from an interaction between both genetic and environmental factors.

    Extractions: Vol. 16: Summer, 1998 Introduction Trisomy 21 is the most common autosomal chromosome abnormality with an incidence of 1/800 live births. It occurs in all ethnic groups. Ninety-five percent are due to meiotic non-disjunction. Most of the time the extra chromosome is of maternal origin and the risk increases with increasing maternal age. A translocation is seen in 3-4% of cases, about half of which are de novo and half familial. Mosaicism is seen in 1-2% of children and the clinical picture correlates somewhat with the percentage of normal cells. The recurrence risk depends upon the etiology. In cases with non-disjunction and de novo translocations, the risk is about 1% plus the maternal age risk. Familial 21/21 translocations have a 100% recurrence risk. Other translocations have a lower recurrence risk with a 2-5% risk if the carrier is the father and a 10-15% risk if the mother is the carrier. Clinical Features Individuals with Down syndrome have characteristic facies and typical minor anomalies. Most striking in the newborn are the upslanting palpebral fissures, protruding tongue, abnormal palmar creases, and hypotonia. Once the diagnosis is suspected, it should be confirmed by a chromosomal analysis on cultured lymphocytes.
