http://www.usd.edu/med/som/genetics/curriculum/3CGENER3.htm

Extractions: Genetic counseling has been defined as a communication process intended to help affected individuals and/or their families to: comprehend the medical facts (diagnosis, prognosis and management); understand the contribution of heredity to the disorder and to its recurrence risks in specific relatives; understand the options available for dealing with this recurrence risk (such as prenatal diagnosis, reproductive alternatives); choose the course of action most compatible with family goals, values and religious beliefs; make the best possible adjustment to the condition and its implications The first step in the genetic counseling process is to establish an accurate diagnosis. This involves the collection and review of medical records and family history information. If the patient is a child, most centers also request pregnancy and delivery records and information about the child's psychomotor development. These are usually collected prior to the clinic visit through the use of questionnaires or through a phone interview. The clinical evaluation is performed by a clinical geneticist and involves a detailed physical examination. The clinical geneticist will document any unusual physical features (major or minor malformations), developmental delays and neurologic deficits. A number of different measurements to determine such things as the distance between the eyes, the length of the limbs and the upper and lower body segments may be needed. In many instances, it may also be necessary to examine a child's parents and sibs to look for subtle signs of the condition. A clinical photograph may be obtained.

FGEC: Foundation For Genetic Education And Counseling
Promotes genetic education for the general public and for healthcare professionals. Mission statement, funding and news .
http://www.fgec.org/

Extractions: The Foundation for Genetic Education and Counseling (FGEC) will promote 'genetic literacy' among the general public and serve as a resource for genetic counseling information for both the general public and their health care professions. The foundation will emphasize educational programs for individuals affected by - or at risk for - complex diseases. The identification of 'susceptibility genes' for complex diseases offers new possibilities for developing medications and approaches to prevention that will improve human health and alleviate suffering. These discoveries, however, might also provoke confusion, fear and stigma in a population that may not understand the fundamentals of genetics or appreciate the complexities of human variation.

http://www.op.org/domcentral/study/kor/95051609.htm

Extractions: May 1995 XVI/9 GENETIC TESTING: ETHICAL ISSUES Ethical Issues Moreover, who will benefit from genetic testing? Will it be confined to those who have health care coverage? Will genetic testing and the ability to combat some future genetic anomaly be available to the uninsured? Underlying every advance in health care technology should be the realization that over forty million people in the United States have limited access to health care. This is the basis for a petition signed by several religious leaders to prohibit the current practice of allowing commercial corporations to patent human genes and genetically engineer animals, thus putting these valuable sources of health and well-being beyond the reach of many people.(7) Finally, in the future, how will we look upon those who have genetic defects? At present, we tend to sympathize with people who have genetic defects and offer compassionate care. We subsidize the care of genetically debilitated persons through home health care or institutional care. But in the future, will we be as concerned about people with disabilities if we think their disabilities could have been avoided? The information resulting from genetic studies will perhaps enable cures to be developed for some fatal diseases. But I believe the genetic information and genetic therapy will change the way we relate to one another. Our attitudes toward life, death, disability and suffering will be changed. Do we have the wisdom to use our new found knowledge and technology to improve the well-being of all?

Doberman Genetic Diseases: Last In The Series

http://www.dpfa.org/GENDIS-SUM.htm

Extractions: Summary and Commentary For the last several issues I have cataloged and expounded upon genetic diseases in the Doberman as described by George A. Padgett, DVM in his book Control of Canine Genetic Diseases. Dr. Padgett's work, while addressing specific diseases and general concepts for all purebred dogs, serves us nicely as a paradigm for specific breeds as well. I have attempted to sort out and distill what is of particular import to the Doberman Pinscher and clarify terminology in more common non-technical language where it was appropriate without sacrificing interpretation. In the way of a review, "specific diseases" and "general concepts" must be dealt with separately for us to put into practice what has been presented. Control of Canine Genetic Diseases can be explored under the partial list of the following chapter headings: The Development of Pedigrees Modes of Inheritance Tables and Probabilities The Interpretation and Use of Pedigrees to Determine the Genetic Status of Given Dogs The Interpretation and Use of Pedigrees to Determine the Probable Mode of Inheritance of a Trait Test-Mating Registries and Prioritizing Genetic Diseases Breed Clubs and Control of Genetic Disease For the Breeder Control of Canine Genetic Disease cover to cover. It should then be placed in a readily accessible location and frequently used for reference.

general Aspects of Mitochondrial genetic Diseases. Maternal inheritance due to the fact that all of the mitochondria in the fertilized egg came from the egg
http://www.people.virginia.edu/~rjh9u/mitochon.html

Extractions: Maternal inheritance due to the fact that all of the mitochondria in the fertilized egg came from the egg Human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is a circular molecule containing 16,569 base pairs and has been completely sequenced. Most mitochondria have 5 to 10 copies of mtDNA. mtDNA codes for two rRNA subunits, 22 tRNA molecules, and 13 polypeptides All diseases resulting from changes in mitochondrial DNA are fundamentally the result of malfunctions of the respiratory chain for oxidative phosphorylation. Mitochondria code for 7 subunits of NADH dehydrogenase; 1 subunit of ubiquinol-cytochrome C oxidoreductase; and 3 subunits of cytochrome c oxidase. In addition, mitochondrial DNA codes for 2 subunits of ATP synthase as well as mitochondrial rRNA. The phenotypic effects of mitochondrial mutations reflect the extent to which a tissue relies on oxidative phosphorylation; the central nervous system is most sensitive, followed by skeletal muscle, heart muscle, kidney, and liver. Some diseases are: Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) - loss of vision and cardiac dysrhythmia myoclonic epilepsy and ragged red fiber disease (MERRF) - central nervous system abnormalities and deficiencies of skeletal and cardiac muscle function Kearns-Sayre syndrome - neuromuscular symptoms including paralysis of eye muscles, dementia, and seizures

Extractions: I work with an international team of translators who translate only into their native languages. I translate both into English and Spanish because I am fortunate enough to be an Argentinean who was raised in the U.S., where I lived for over 20 years. I have received formal education in both languages attending everything from elementary school to college in the States, and am currently back in school in Argentina where I am learning simultaneous interpretation. I worked as an in-house translator for a major Buenos Aires agency, but now prefer to work as a freelance translator. I have over 4 year's experience as a translator and for the past two years I have been specializing in the translation of medical texts. My areas of expertise include cardiology, gynecology, lysosomal storage disorders (such as Pompe Disease), and genetic diseases.
