Description
"Issues in Genetic Testing" was the theme for the Eighth Clinical Chemistry Forum of the American Association for Clinical Chemistry. The 2-day meeting was held in Arlington, Virginia, on November 3 and 4, 1998, and was jointly sponsored on this occasion by the Association for Molecular Pathology. Manuscripts of five of the meeting presentations have already been published in their entirety (1-5). The following is a summary of the remaining papers presented at the meeting. The opening presentation by Bradley W. Popovich, PhD, Director, DNA Diagnostic Laboratory, and Director, Clinical Genetic Services Laboratory, Oregon Health Sciences University, set the background for the conference by describing the evolution of DNA diagnostic testing. DNA tests generally are extremely accurate, minimally invasive, and cost-effective. Many hundreds of genetic conditions are already diagnosed through DNA testing. The number and variety of genetic tests will expand rapidly as an outgrowth of the Human Genome Project.
