GenePod - The Genetics in Medicine Podcast

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) causes significant long-term morbidity and mortality, particularly in children. There is some evidence that the innate immune system, in particular neutrophil activity, can be compromised in adult-onset lupus. Yet there is a paucity of data on neutrophil activity in pediatric SLE. 

This month on Pediapod, we join Early Career Investigator, Rakesh Kumar Pilania, an assistant professor at the postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research in Chandigarh, India to discuss his study of neutrophil activity in patients with pediatric SLE and what it reveals about the etiology of this condition.

Neutrophil function in pediatric lupus.

Adoptees and others often have little or no access to family medical history, which puts them at a clear disadvantage with regard to aspects of their medical care. Could genomic analysis help to close this health disparity? Listen to GenePod, the Genetics in Medicine Podcast for an exploration of how genomic testing might be used in this context.

GenePod: August 2015 - The Market for Consumers' Genetic Information

It will come as no news to the audience of Genetics in Medicine that keeping up with our field and securing adequate reimbursement is getting harder and harder. At least part of this is a result of our success and reflects the growing relevance of genetics to patient care. In this month's GenePod, the podcast of Genetics in Medicine, this topic is explored with reference to a recent article published in GIM that surveyed practitioners around the world about how they handle these issues.

GenePod: September 2015 - Time and effort to practice medical genetics: an expanding challenge

This month GenePod explores clinical approaches to dealing with the difficult but inevitable problem of how to handle secondary (incidental) findings in genomic analysis.

GenePod: Oct 2015 - Expecting the Unexpected: Dealing with secondary findings in genomic sequencing

This month's GenePod discusses the use of next generation sequencing in newborn screening.   The findings of the researchers and their interpretation leave much room for additional research and conversation.

GenePod: November 2015 - Is next generation newborn screening better than current methods?

This month's GenePod discusses a new study which suggests the incidence of Sickle Cell disease in newborns in Africa and the Middle East may be substantially underestimated. Since we know that early intervention saves lives and reduces morbidity, accurate figures regarding the burden of disease are critical to setting public health priorities.
