ST105  CAP Foundation Keitges Program on Medical Ethics: Genetic Testing in Late Onset Autosomal Dominant Disorders

2:00–4:00 pm
2.0 CME CREDITS

This session explores genetic testing in late onset autosomal dominant disorders such as Huntington disease and hereditary cancer. Faculty will review the historical background of genetic testing for these disorders, shift to the current state of testing, and address key ethical implications. Using an interactive audience-response system, faculty will also examine medical-clinical and ethical issues of genetic testing in children.

You will learn to:

• Understand the scientific knowledge of disorders discussed (such as Huntington disease and hereditary cancer)
• Identify Mendelian inheritance patterns of genetic disorders
• Recognize and address the ethical issues associated with genetic testing for late onset autosomal dominant disorders and hereditary cancer
