GenePod - The Genetics in Medicine Podcast

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.

GenePod: December 2015 - What's the real burden of Sickle Cell Disease in Africa & the Middle East?

It's been 25 years since the ACMG was founded. To mark the occasion, GenePod, the podcast of Genetics in Medicine, focuses on the past and the future of the journal. Podcast director Cynthia Graber interviews Dick King and Jim Evans, respectively the journal's founding and current Editors, regarding what's changed, what hasn't, and what we can look forward to over the next 25 years.

GenePod: January 2016 - Looking back (and forward) on the occasion of ACMG's 25th Anniversary

Humans all over the world are born with malformations regardless of their particular ethnicity or ancestry, but the medical literature and the resources currently available depicting human malformation have been heavily slanted towards patients with western European ancestry. Maximilian Muenke and colleagues have now begun to remedy this deficiency in the medical literature with a global atlas of human malformation. Listen to GenePod, Genetics in Medicine's podcast, for the story behind this important new reference.

GenePod: May 2016 - Diversity Matters – A global atlas of human malformation

This month's edition of GenePod, Genetics in Medicine's podcast, focuses on sorting out hype from reality in the use of CRISPR for human genome modification. Listen to an interview with Dr. Cecile Janssens about the limits of human genome engineering, even by powerful techniques such as CRISPR.
