The knowledge gained through genetic testing can lead to better patient outcomes. Heritable conditions are caused by mutations, or changes in the DNA of certain genes which are transmitted from parents to offspring. Genetic testing is a diagnostic tool that can help identify these disease-causing changes in a patient’s DNA, and consequently aid in the management of patient care, including the selection of the optimal treatment when available, and define the risk of disease to family members. Genetic testing has changed tremendously over the years and is now becoming an integral diagnostic component in healthcare. This educational webinar will provide participants with an overview of genetics and genetic testing illustrated through immune-related patient case examples.

Key topics:

• Summary of genetics, hereditary diseases, and inheritance patterns with patient examples
• Overview of the different types of genetic testing and their corresponding benefits and challenges
• Explanation of quality and performance in genetic testing
• Description of the strategies which maximize diagnostic yield
• Outline of the necessary considerations when selecting a patient’s optimal genetic test
