From page 1... ... The Institute of Medicine's Roundtable on Translating Genomic-Based Research for Health was established in 2007 to foster dialogue and partnerships that will advance the field of genomics and improve the translation of basic genomic research to applications in health care, education, and health policy. Wylie Burke of the University of Washington, and chair of this roundtable, said that the discussions have brought to light some of the very diverse perspectives regarding which genomic applications will be potentially useful in practice as well as what represents compelling evidence to bring an application into the healthcare setting.

From page 2... ... Prognostic test A test which predicts the possibility of developing a specific condition. On March 22, 2010, the roundtable convened a public workshop to examine the perceived value of genetic and genomic technologies, both present and future, in clinical practice from the perspectives of different stakeholders.1 The workshop was designed to build on the concepts of analytical validity, clinical validity, and clinical utility (Box 1-1) Read the entire page →
From page 3... ... The discussion was intended to focus not on the value of the specific treatment or test presented, but rather on the broader issues of how each individual stakeholder derives his or her personal or professional opinion of the value of using the technology. Chapters 2 through 4 of this report summarize the discussions of each clinical scenario by the expert panelists and provide highlights of the open discussions. Read the entire page →
