Purpose:
This article provides a review of the current state of incorporating genetic information into clinical practice and looks to the future, which is just around the corner.
Key Points:
The explosion of genetic information spurred by the Human Genome Project has resulted in a literal revolution in the use of genetic information in a clinical practice setting. Currently, information from the Human Genome Project is being used in the area of genetic diagnostics, and in genetically engineered biopharmaceuticals. Although this information is only in the infancy of its development, its direct incorporation into clinical practice already has affected the day-to-day services provided by practically all health care specialties.
Summary:
The rapid development of genetic information requires those in clinical practice to maintain their currency in genetic information so that they can refer patients to appropriate genetic professionals.
