BACKGROUND Advances in medical genetics are increasingly being incorporated into clinical management outside specialist genetic services. This study was therefore undertaken to develop learning outcomes in genetics for general practice specialty training, using methods to ensure the knowledge, skills, and attitudes relevant to genetics in primary care were identified. AIM To identify key know...

Psychiatric genetics and genomics have made major strides in recent years. Some of that knowledge has yet to permeate in the clinical practice of biological psychiatry. The example of cancer-genetics, biology and clinical treatments may be profitable in terms of accelerating translational integration in psychiatry. We propose that current developments in genetics and genomics point to an Early ...

A report from the Royal College of Physicians of London shows support from a wide range of specialties for the teaching of a core curriculum and basic skills in clinical genetics. However, there is a marked variation in the hours timetabled for clinical genetics, averaging 20 in the preclinical and six in the clinical section.

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is rapidly approaching widespread clinical application. Technology advancements over the past decade, since the first human genome was decoded, have made it feasible to use WGS for clinical care. Future advancements will likely drive down the price to the point wherein WGS is routinely available for care. However, were this to happen today, most of the genetic info...
