Inherited arrhythmias, such as cardiomyopathies and cardiac ion channelopathies, along with coronary heart disease (CHD) are three most common disorders that predispose adults to sudden cardiac death. In the last three decades, causal genes in inherited arrhythmias have been successfully identified. At the same time, it has become evident that the genetic architectures are more complex than pre...
متن کاملHow I Do It: Genetic counseling and genetic testing for inherited prostate cancer.

Inherited prostate cancer which may account for up to 10% of cases has been associated with genetic mutations which are also linked with other hereditary cancer syndromes. Therefore, family history indicating inherited prostate cancer predisposition may extend beyond prostate cance...
متن کاملRecent advances in prenatal genetic screening and testing
The introduction of new technologies has dramatically changed the current practice of prenatal screening and testing for genetic abnormalities in the fetus. Expanded carrier screening panels and non-invasive cell-free fetal DNA-based screening for aneuploidy and single-gene disorders, and more recently for subchromosomal abnormalities, have been introduced into prenatal care. More recently intr...
متن کاملAdvances in Genetics Psychological Issues in Genetic Testing for Inherited Cardiovascular Diseases
Clinical genetic testing is now available for many cardiovascular diseases, including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), familial dilated cardiomyopathy, and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, channelopathies such as long-QT syndrome (LQTS), aortic diseases such as Marfan syndrome, and disorders of cholesterol metabolism such as familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). Utility and inte...
متن کاملRecent Advances in Multiple Testing
There has been renewed interest in the area of multiple testing because of its importance in many statistical investigations, particularly in experiments where large data sets are generated, such as genetic microarrays. The purpose of this paper is to present some important developments that have taken place recently in this area, focusing mainly on stepwise multiple testing procedures, and to ...
