Abstract:
This article builds on a previous article by suggesting practical ways in which genetics can be integrated into existing family health care practice. Some key skills such as collecting family history information, identifying clinical pointers suggestive of a genetic condition and knowing how to refer individuals for genetic counselling are discussed in detail. When talking about genetics, it is important to use the right words and be aware of the emotional issues that taking a family history may bring to light. Family health care practitioners are well placed to provide this support to individuals and families.
