Educational and Ethical Considerations for Genetic Test Implementation Within Health Care Systems

Network and Systems Medicine

Abstract

Introduction: The precision medicine (PM) era presents unprecedented proliferation of genetic/genomic initiatives, information, and bioinformatic tools to enhance targeted molecular diagnosis and therapeutic treatments. As of February 29, 2020, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Genetic Testing Registry contained 64,860 genetic tests for 12,268 conditions and 18,686 genes from 560 laboratories, and the Food and Drug Administration had 404 entries for pharmacogeneomic biomarkers used in drug labeling. Population-based research initiatives including NIH's All of Us and Veterans Affairs' Million Veteran Program, and the UK Biobank, combine use of genomic biorepositories with electronic medical records (i.e., National Human Genome Research Institute's [NHGRI's] electronic Medical Records and Genomics [eMERGE] Network). Learning health care systems are implementing clinical genomics screening programs and precision oncology programs. However, there are insufficient medical geneticists, nurse geneticists, and genetics counselors to implement expanding number of clinical genetic tests that are required for PM implementation. Methods: A scoping review of current (2014-2019) tren...Continue Reading
