Genetic carrier screening, prenatal screening for aneuploidy and prenatal diagnostic testing have expanded dramatically over the past two decades. Driven in part by powerful market forces, new complex testing modalities have become available after limited clinical research. The responsibility for offering these tests lies primarily on the obstetrical care provider and has become more burdensome as the number of testing options expands. Genetic testing in pregnancy is optional, and decisions about undergoing tests, as well as follow-up testing, should be informed and based on individual patients’ values and needs. Careful pre-and post-test counseling is central to supporting informed decision-making.
WES is conventionally recommended when patients present complex, heterogeneous phenotypes that are suggestive of multiple conditions or are otherwise unclear or atypical. WES may also be recommended when a prior genetic test was unsuccessful. The latest clinical evidence also supports WES as a first-line test when a patient’s symptoms or family history suggests a genetic cause of the diseases. This is especially true for neurodevelopmental disorders, including intellectual disability, global developmental delay, and autism spectrum disorder due to the high diagnostic yield. The test results from WES may also lead to more rapid diagnoses, improved prevention of symptomatic illness, more targeted treatments or even end the need for some costly or invasive procedures.
WGS is recommended especially for the diagnosis of patients with heterogeneous phenotypes, unclear or atypical clinical symptoms, or with a long list of prior differential diagnoses, or who have exhausted other genetic testing options.
Testing for hereditary cancers can detect specific, heritable, disease-related gene mutations that may increase the risk of certain cancers allowing an in-depth cancer risk assessment for each patient. The critical goal is to detect cancer early and to give you the opportunity to maximize health outcomes for your patients. Patient-tailored screening programs, preventive measures and proactive treatment are possible for patients of a high-risk group. Early diagnosis can mean a better overall prognosis through a choice of surgical and non-surgical treatment options.
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world affecting ~12.5% of women during their lifetime. 5–10% of these patients have a hereditary form. Mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are the most common hereditary cause. However, other genes such as ATM, BRIP1, CHEK2, PALB2, RAD51, etc. have also been associated with increased risk.
NGS Panels are recommended for patients that follow any or multiple of the following criteria: Distinctive clinical features: • Family history of a particular disorder • Multiple genes are linked to condition • Genetically heterogeneous disorders • Well-defined disease-associated genes
Carrier Screening can be offered to individuals considering a pregnancy or in early pregnancy. It is appropriate for individuals or couples with the following backgrounds • No family history of genetic disease • A known family history of genetic disease • High consanguinity • Ethnicities with high incidence of genetic diseases
A considerable number of couples suffering from infertility spend years in search of treatment options, often with physical, emotional and economic losses. Identifying the cause of infertility facilitates a personalized and informed manner of management that can be adapted to the needs of the people seeking medical support.
