What is
Neurodegenerative Disease
Advances in genetic testing for neurodegenerative conditions have improved the ability to make accurate diagnoses, provide recurrence risk information to family members, and (in some cases) determine eligibility for clinical trials. A number of neurodegenerative conditions have an underlying genetic cause, with a 50% recurrence risk when inheritance is autosomal dominant.
The diagnosis of a neurodegenerative condition can therefore have implications not only for the affected individual, but also for relatives, who may be simultaneously watching a loved one’s decline and contemplating their own at-risk status.
Abstract
Advances in genomic science are informing an expansion of genetic testing for neurodegenerative diseases, which can be used for diagnostic and predictive purposes and performed in both medical and consumer genomics settings. Such testing—which is often for severe and incurable conditions like Huntington’s, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s diseases—raises important communication challenges.
