Gene tests (also called DNA-based tests), the newest and most sophisticated of the techniques used to test for genetic disorders, involve direct examination of the DNA molecule itself. Other genetic tests include biochemical tests for such gene products as enzymes and other proteins and for microscopic examination of stained or fluorescent chromosomes. Genetic tests are used for several reasons, including: Carrier screening, which involves identifying unaffected individuals who carry one copy of a gene for a disease that requires two copies for the disease to be expressed; Preimplantation genetic diagnosis prenatal diagnostic testing new-born screening; Presymptomatic testing for predicting adult-onset disorders such as Huntington's disease; Presymptomatic testing for estimating the risk of developing adult-onset cancers and Alzheimer's disease; and Confirmational diagnosis of a symptomatic individual forensic/identity testing. In gene tests, scientists scan a patient's DNA sample for mutated sequences. A DNA sample can be obtained from any tissue, including blood. probes, whose sequences are complementary to the mutated sequences. These probes will seek their complement among the three billion base pairs of an individual's genome. If the mutated sequence is present in the patient's genome, the probe will bind to it and flag the mutation. Another type of DNA testing involves comparing the sequence of DNA bases in a patient's gene to a normal version of the gene. This book gathers important research in this field.

Raising hopes for disease treatment and prevention, but also the specter of discrimination and "designer genes," genetic testing is potentially one of the most socially explosive developments of our time. This book presents a current assessment of this rapidly evolving field, offering principles for actions and research and recommendations on key issues in genetic testing and screening. Advantages of early genetic knowledge are balanced with issues associated with such knowledge: availability of treatment, privacy and discrimination, personal decision-making, public health objectives, cost, and more. Among the important issues covered: Quality control in genetic testing. Appropriate roles for public agencies, private health practitioners, and laboratories. Value-neutral education and counseling for persons considering testing. Use of test results in insurance, employment, and other settings.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder affecting the lungs, liver, pancreas, kidneys and the intestine. It is characterized by frequent lung infections, which cause coughing up of mucus and difficulty in breathing. Other symptoms may consist of poor growth, sinus infections, clubbing of the fingers and toes, fatty stool, etc. Cystic fibrosis is usually caused due to the presence of mutations in both the copies of the gene responsible for the production of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. An individual with a single working copy of the gene is a carrier of cystic fibrosis. It is diagnosed through genetic testing and a sweat test. There is no known cure for cystic fibrosis. Antibiotics are given for treating lung infections and for deteriorating lung condition. Lung transplantation may be recommended in some cases. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about cystic fibrosis. The topics covered herein deal with the core aspects of this genetic disorder. For all readers who are interested in cystic fibrosis, the case studies included in this book will serve as an excellent guide to develop a comprehensive understanding.

This report gives a simplified description of the scientific fundamentals of genetic testing and describes its present applications; establishes broad privacy principles to guide both the public and private sectors on testing matters; examines specifically how the Privacy Act regulates genetic testing by government institutions; and addresses the growing need to consider regulating private sector genetic testing. A summary of positions taken by other countries and international organizations on privacy and genetic testing is also included.
