Why get genetic testing?
Ideas for more tests
and interventions if I
learn I’m at risk
To find the right drugs,
in the right doses, for
my conditions
Planning for my long
term medical and
financial needs
I want to use my
genome as a social
networking tool
I am an early adopter
and information altruist
Might reveal details of
my family tree and
genealogy
To inform my
reproductive decisions

Motivation to
change my habits
Genetic Testing Rationale
– Predictive testing
• Am I at risk for a genetic disease?
– Diagnostic testing
• Does my disease have a genetic basis?
– Carrier testing
• Might I pass on a genetic mutation to a potential child?
– Prenatal testing
• What can I learn about the genetic profile of my fetus?

DTC: Direct-To-Consumer Genetic Testing
How do they work?
• Order kit
• Spit into a tube
• Send tube back
• Company puts your DNA sample on a chip
• “science” occurs
• Report mailed back to you; may only be raw data
• Genotype NOT full sequence (typically)
• Consultations, analysis, worry, confusion…
SNP: single nucleotide polymorphism
DTC: Major Companies
• 23andMe: genetics just go personal.
– Personal genome API
– FDA clearance
$99
• Navigenics: clinically guided genetic analysis
– Bought out by Life Technologies
• Pathway Genomics: The Value of Knowing
– Must be ordered through a U.S. physician registered w/PG
• deCODEme: deCODE your health
– Discontinued sales
Congress & DTC
– Walgreens, Pathway
Genomics, & FDA (May 2010)
– Government Accountability Office (GAO)
• 22 July 2010
• DTC genetic testing companies provide “results that are
misleading and of little or no practical use.”
• Companies: 23andMe, Navigenics, Pathway Genomics + others
Degree of Regulation vs Public Right to Personal Info
Suggested Regulation
1. Ensure appropriate info & consent procedures
2. Formal laboratory accreditation
3. Evidence of a valid
gene-disease association
4. Appropriately qualified staff to
interpret the test result
5. Consumer protection legislation to prevent
false or misleading claims
Regulating direct-to-consumer genetic tests: What is all the fuss about?
Wright CF, Hall A, Zimmern RL.
Genet Med. 2010 Oct 1. [Epub ahead of print] PMID: 20921893
I’m doing it!
So you’ve got your
sequence…now what?
• Talk to the company’s genetic counselors
• Talk to your physician/genetic counselor
• Do it yourself…?

– Promethease: uses SNPedia to analyze &
help explain your DNA

Personalized
Medicine
Human Genome, US Medicine, & the 4 P’s
• Predictive
– Use patient’s genome to determine probability of
developing certain diseases
• Preventive
– Based on individual risk profile, start therapies in
advance to reduce likelihood of illness
• Personalized
– Create drug therapies to suit each genome
• Participatory
– Patients will maintain own health by learning
about their predispositions
Pharmacogenomics
How
an individual’s
genetic inheritance
affects
the body’s response
to drugs
Example—breast cancer
•
•
•
•
HER2 oncogene
Over-expressed in 25-30% patients
Results in increase in replication of cancer cells
Treat w/Herceptin, a monoclonal antibody that
inhibits HER2
BENEFITS
– Herceptin targets ONLY cancerous cells, thus
eliminating need to administer large drug doses
– Identification of ONLY patients w/gene overexpression, thus preventing unnecessary treatments
Impact of genetic variation on drug response
Challenges
How much
should we fear
discrimination at
work and with
insurance?
What are the
privacy concerns
for individual
and families?
How realistic
are promises of
anonymity?
How can we
ensure access for
all who want to
be sequenced?
Will fair weight
given to
environmental &
social factors?
What surprises
and secrets might
be revealed?
How far ahead is
the technology of its
clinical usefulness?

FEARS!!!
Genetic Discrimination
GINA: Genetic Information Non-discrimination Act
“ The first civil rights
legislation of the
21st century”
-Senator Ted Kennedy
Signed 28 May 2008
(After 13 years of debate.)
personal genetics education project (link)
GINA: Prohibits genetic discrimination
in health insurance & employment
Title 1: Prohibits discrimination in group and individual
health insurance plans. Forbids genetic information being
used to deny coverage, adjust premiums, or require
someone to take a genetic test.
Title 2: Prohibits employers from using genetic
information to make hiring, firing or promotion decisions.
Severely limits employers rights to request, require, or
purchase an employee’s genetic information.

Noninvasive Fetal Sequencing
Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis
• Method to test for certain genetic traits in an embryo
• Embryo is created via in vitro fertilization
• Genetic testing occurs when embryo is 2-4 days old,
typically at the 8-cell stage
• A single cell is removed and tested
• Results of testing are used to decide which embryos
to implant in prospective mother’s uterus
