2 Key Applications of Genetic and Genomic Testing (slide 1 of 2) Diagnosis of Disease: Whereby genetic or genomic tests are used to screen a patient with a suspected disease (usually a hereditary genetic disease) to positively identify the disease. This is genetic or genomic testing applied to a symptomatic individual. Predictive Medicine: The presymptomatic testing of individuals to determine the risk of developing adult onset diseases and disorders (such as for Huntington’s disease or breast cancer.) Genotyping of Specific Disease: Such as the genotyping of a patient’s specific HIV strain or cancer tumor to guide therapeutic approaches. Pharmacogenomics: Whereby genetic or genomic testing is used to optimize drug therapies based on the patient’s genotype and known genetic linkages to drug efficacy or toxicity.
3 Identity Testing: Whereby genetic testing assists in confidently establishing identity, providing individual genetic identification profiles. These profiles can be used to establish biological relatedness. Forensic Testing: Whereby genetic testing is used to establish the identity of individuals based upon a specimen of blood, urine, or other tissue. Carrier Screening: This involves testing unaffected individuals who carry one copy of a gene for a disease that requires two copies for the disease to be expressed. Newborn Screening: Whereby newborns are screened shortly after birth for disorders that are treatable, but difficult to otherwise detect clinically.

Value-Added: Represents the difference between an industry’s or an establishment’s total output and the cost of its intermediate inputs. Output: Is the dollar value of production (i.e., sales).
6 Avoid misdiagnosis and associated complications and costs Early interventions when diseases are easier and less expensive to treat Enable movement to a preventive vs. reactive model Reduce adverse drug reactions and associated costs Optimize therapeutic approaches to increase effectiveness Minimize the impact of devastating childhood diseases Avoidance of occupational/environmental related diseases Genetic & Genomic Testing = Improved Health Better Outcomes Lower Costs ++ Key Functional Benefits of Genetic and Genomic Testing
