I conference I wish I could go to, but alas, I will be DOING family histories on my patients that week.The conference will be held at the NIH in Bethesda. This is an NIH state of the science conference about Family History and its usefulness.I for one, am very glad that the government is trying to address this super important issue. It is beyond due for an evaluation. Why?With the cost of a genome going to drop to 5000 USD by the late fall (trust me), we will soon see another level of DTC and Clinical lab set offering the genome as a predictive tool.There are several reasons that Family History beats a Genome (For Now) 1. Phenotypic data of family history represents complex interplay of genes and environment There is no way that a simple genom...

I have to say, we are doing a good job of covering these genes, but probably won't get through them all. I am excited about a ton of this content. But when we move through genetic discovery, talk always falls back to personalized medicine. I have been trying to move away from this term lately. And so has the American College of Medical Genetics. I like the term Genomic Healthcare. It's simple and expresses what is going on today and what will continue for the next decade or two.So without much ado let's get started!First the basic science. It is on the shoulders of these giants which Sherpas like me stand when we implement the clinical action. We are all different, every single one of us unique. What makes us this way?

Which is good news for physicians like myself who would gladly use this test if their were some good data. Unfortunately, some think it is ready right now for prime-time....Which leads me to the next topic. In the November edition of the American Journal of Human Genetics there is a systematic analysis of something called Variants of Uncertain Significance. You see, the problem that DTC testing companies don't want to tell you is that sometimes an answer only confuses things. More importantly, these things called VUSs require significant follow up.

Gene Genie is a blog carnival on genes and gene-related diseases. Our plan is to cover the whole genome before 2082 (it means 14-15 genes every two weeks). But we also accept articles on the news of genomics and clinical genetics. Christian Bachmann at Med Journal Watch has just made an edition we all should be proud of! More than a dozen submissions, nice structure, clear sections. An excellent collection of the best genetic/medical blogposts. Next time, Gene Genie #12 will be hosted by My Biotech Life on the 29th of July. Don’t forget to submit your articles via the official page.

The first issue has recently been published and I’m looking for future hosts. When I started Gene Genie, the blog carnival on genes and gene-related diseases, for the first issues, I had to find a host 1-2 days before the deadline. Now, we have Gene Genie hosts even for August! I really believe that we can promote this new carnival as well, because there are so many blogs writing about this interesting and new topic. So if you plan to host an edition, just let me know. The next edition is due to be published on the 24th of June.

The Genie revealed unto me that I shall search the OMIM database with the term “instance“. Thus instructed, let’s venture into the vast expanse of the human genome… Again, as with the previous search term “organizer”, the Genie has lead me into familiar territory. The word “instance” brings up not a gene, but rather a syndrome - PRADER-WILLI SYNDROME (PWS). The reason PWS is familiar to me is because Rachel Wevrick in the Department of Medical Genetics at the University of Alberta has centred her lab around genes associated with this disease. I have seen a number of excellent seminars from her and her studen...

The Random Word Genie has let me down. Wishing to continue my journey through the vast expanse of the human genome, I petitioned the Random Word Genie for inspiration, and was provided with the term “beast”. Upon searching the OMIM database with said term, I received the following feedback: The following term was not found: beast. See Details. No items found. Did you mean: breast (745 items) No, I didn’t mean “breast”, though that would have been fruitful, no doubt.

Send me your post about genes and/or gene-related diseases and I’ll include it in a round-up this Saturday, March 24. Be on the lookout for some magical genetic moments. This morning, Genie is wondering how spontaneous deletions and duplications of DNA, aka copy number variation, scattered throughout the genome could be involved in autism spectrum disorders. Maybe they’re the result of some other injury that led to both autism and the mutations? Maybe it’s selection bias? The people in the study with autism must differ in other ways from healthy controls. Were all known and unknown factors controlled for? Genie reserves judgment until she knows more about what the biological importance of these hundr...

Our plan is to cover the whole genome before 2082 (it means 14-15 genes every two weeks). But we also accept articles on the news of genomics and genetics. The first issue of Gene Genie was published at Scienceroll, the second one at Sciencesque. The third is going to be held at Genetics and Health in one week. So don’t forget to submit your articles to Hsien-Hsien Lei!

Tim has made a great job, collected all the important gene and genetic condition related articles from the past 2 weeks. Take a look at his work in case you don’t want to miss the genetic cause of agressive gum disease IQ related genes ABO genes Tim’s random word generator result Pompe disease or the DNA of Jesus! The next issue is due to be published in two weeks. If you have a gene-related article or want to host a Gene Genie, then contact me (berci.mesko [at] gmail.com).
