BACKGROUND The aim of this theoretical study is to explore the cost-effectiveness of aneuploidy screening in a UK setting for every woman aged under the age of 40 years when fresh and vitrified-warmed embryos are transferred one at a time in a first full cycle of assisted conception. METHODS It is envisaged that a 24-chromosome genetic test for aneuploidy could be used to exclude embryos with...
It is now well established that mammography is a sensitive technique for the detection of impalpable breast lesions and it is the only screening method commonly accepted to be of any real value. In the aftermath of the Forrest report (1) a limited mammography screening programme has been established in the UK. This will mean that many more women, of whom a majority will be asymptomatic, will pr...
The genetic testing and genetic screening of children are commonplace. Decisions about whether to offer genetic testing and screening should be driven by the best interest of the child. The growing literature on the psychosocial and clinical effects of such testing and screening can help inform best practices. This policy statement represents recommendations developed collaboratively by the Ame...
BACKGROUND Tests of genotype may enable workers at unusual risk of future ill-health to be identified. Using them to select for employment, however, entails gains and losses to employers and employees. Ensuring a fair balance between the rights and obligations of each group requires a value judgement, but the advantages and disadvantages to interested parties must first be quantified in a meani...
The effectiveness of a genetics-based public health screening programs depend on the successful recruitment of subjects who qualify for intensified screening by virtue of a positive genetic test. Herein we compare the effectiveness of a mailed invitation and follow-up phone call for non-responding subjects and an initial invitation by telephone addressed to male BRCA1 mutation carriers for pros...
How do patients with thrombophilia experience a physician's request to undergo a genetic test? How do they experience the test outcome? To answer these questions, we conducted an interpretative phenomenological analysis study, based on 10 in-depth interviews with patients who underwent genetic testing for thrombophilia in Italy, half with positive and half with negative results. The experience ...
Arguments against the possible use of genetic test results in private health and life insurance predominantly refer to the problem of certain gene carriers failing to obtain affordable insurance cover. However, some moral intuitions speaking against this practice seem to be more fundamental than mere concerns about adverse distributional effects. In their perspective, the central ethical proble...
BACKGROUND Advances in molecular diagnostic technologies have enabled genetic testing in single closed-tube reactions. The purpose of this review is to highlight some of the platforms and technologies currently available for the homogeneous detection of targets and the application of the technologies in the clinical setting. Validation issues surrounding the technologies, which may need to be a...
Genetic tests are currently being offered to the general public with little oversight and regulation as to which tests are allowed to be sold clinically and little control over the marketing and promotion of sales and use. This article provides discussion and data to indicate that the general public holds high opinions of genetic testing and that current media outlets for public education on ge...
Junior livestock projects provide excellent opportunities for education and positive agricultural experiences for youth. As genetic testing advances become widely available to livestock producers, youth benefit by learning about the benefits and applications of genetic testing. Market and replacement hogs can be tested for genetic defects and for performance characteristics which influence repr...
