QUESTION
How can a genetic risk assessment affect health at the population lev- el?
Answer:
Genetics can contribute to composite risk assessments that identify high- and low-risk segments
of the population.
At the population level, genetics can help to identify groups susceptible to developing a
particular health problem
QUESTION
What steps can health care professionals take to incorporate genomic medicine into patient
care?
Answer:
(1) Take an accurate three-generation family history and keep it up to date.
a. Use pedigrees to help organize information
(2) Recognize the patterns and red flags in the family history that put your patients at increased
and high risk of disease
(3) Facilitate the genetic counseling process
QUESTION
Genomics
Answer:
The study of all genes in the human genome as well as their inter- action with other genes, the
individual's environment, and the influence of cultural and psychosocial factors
QUESTION
Pharmacogenomics
Answer:
Pharmacogenomics (sometimes called pharmacogenet- ics) is a field of research that studies
how a person's genes affect how he or she responds to medications
QUESTION
Genetics
Answer:
The study of individual genes and their impact on relatively rare single gene disorders
QUESTION
Genetic epidemiology
Answer:
The link of epidemiology and genetics
QUESTION
Genetic epidemiology focuses on the risk of
Answer:
developing disease, in popu- lations that have a genetic basis, and is now recognized as a
component of risk analysis.
For example, what are the chances of a smoker developing lung cancer compared to a nonsmoker
developing lung cancer?
QUESTION
What are the components of a genetic risk assessment?
Answer:
Components for
APRNs
• Analyze a FAMILY pedigree to identify potential inherited predispositions to dis- ease.
• Estimate risks for Mendelian and multifactorial disorders in affected families as appropriate.
• Use family history and pedigree information to plan and conduct a targeted physical
assessment.
• Interpret findings from the physical assessment, family history, lab tests, diagnostic tests,
and/or radiology results that may indicate Genetics/Genomics referral.
• Refer at-risk family members for assessment of inherited predispositions to disease
QUESTION
Risk Interpretation
As the APN discusses risk with his or her patients, it is important to reflect on the meaning of the
various ways risk is expressed
1.Absolute risk is the probability of
2.Absolute risk gives no indication of how
Answer:
1 an event, such as illness, injury, or death
2.its magnitude compares with others
QUESTION
Risk Interpretation
1.The odds ratio closely approximates
2.What is relative risk?
3.Odds ratio and the relative risk are used to
Answer:
1.the relative risk if the disease is rare.
2.is a measure of the strength of an association between an exposure and an outcome or disease
3.assess the strength of association between risk factor and outcome.
