Cancer Screening (article and video clip) In 1969, Sarah Lawrence College established the first program in human genetics in the United States. It remains the largest program of its kind in the country and has trained half of the nation's genetic counselors, including the directors of many other human genetics programs in the United States and Canada. Sarah Lawrence alumni also serve as the sole genetic counselors in several nations of South and Central America, Europe, and the South Pacific. The program strives to identify and train future genetic counselors who diversify the professional community and represent minority populations. The two-year program, which leads to a Master of Science degree, prepares students for careers as genetic counselors. Graduates readily fill the minimum clinical caseload required by the American Board of Genetic Counseling (ABGC) and upon graduation, are eligible for board certification.

human genetics, Environment, and Communities of Color Ethical and Social Implications. Monday, February 4th, 2002 830AM 530PM
http://www.weact.org/genetics/

Extractions: Co-sponsors: the National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), the NIEHS Center for Environmental Health at the Mailman School of Public Health (Columbia University), and the Harlem Health Promotion Center. The "decoding" of the human genome the collective genetic make-up of human beings , announced in June 2000, has been heralded as one of the major scientific breakthroughs in recent history, with the potential to usher in a new era of human health protection. However, many concerns have arisen about the potential for exploitation and misuse of this technological breakthrough. As the research and development of human genetics unfolds with increasing speed, do adequate structures exist for communities to address the ethical and social implications created by these new technologies? How will genetics research impact on communities of color, and how can we best inform and prepare ourselves to handle both the challenges and opportunities posed by this new knowledge? This national conference will bring community advocates, policy makers, and scientists from across the country together to educate one another and to answer these questions. Conference participants can expect to learn some of the science upon which genetics research is based, and participate in discussions around critical ethical, legal, and social implications of human genetics for communities and people of color and for environmental justice.
Starr Center For Human Genetics

http://www.rockefeller.edu/graduate/censtarr.htm

Extractions: Michael W. Young The Starr Center for Human Genetics applies emerging technologies in human genetics to search for genes that are causal in the genesis of human disease. These efforts will integrate genetic and clinical research at the university and enhance studies in human biology. The application of new technologies stemming from the Human Genome Project is anticipated to revolutionize our understanding of basic principles of human biology and disease. Indeed, the combination of advances in molecular genetics and the implementation of strategies of sufficient scale make it possible to identify human disease genes for complex disorders. Genetic information can also be used to stratify genetically complex diseases with respect to clinical features, disease outcome and therapeutic response. The large, ethnically diverse population available in New York City provides an opportunity for comprehensive genetic analysis of human disease, especially as preliminary efforts elsewhere have been skewed toward the analysis of families of western European descent. Thus, the program in human genetics should occupy a critical niche in future genetic research. Current studies focus on obesity, hearing loss, type II diabetes, mental illness and heart disease. Additional genetic studies are carried out in collaboration with the Department of Health on the island of Kosrae. Kosrae is a Pacific island, and aspects of its history make it a potentially valuable site for analyzing the genetic basis of obesity, diabetes and heart disease.

Forensic Laboratory For DNA Research

http://www.medfac.leidenuniv.nl/fldo/

Extractions: Forensic Laboratory for DNA Research Department of Human Genetics, Leiden University last modified Jan 17, 2001 In 1994, the Leiden University was requested by the Ministry of Justice to set up an independent second opinion laboratory (or contra-expertise laboratory) for forensic DNA studies. In the same year the Dutch legal system was extended with a new law, by means of which suspects of severe criminal offends could be forced to cooperate in a DNA test. However, the same law also preserved them the possibility to request an independent contra expertise at a laboratory different than the laboratory of Criminal Justice. This new DNA lab should meet high quality standards and the law restricts the type of experiments to those for which accreditation by the Dutch Council for Accreditation (RvA) was obtained. Within the Department of Human Genetics of the Medical Faculty of the Leiden University, a new DNA laboratory, the Forensic Laboratory for DNA Research (FLDO), was started. The management of this forensic laboratory was placed in the hands of dr. E. Bakker, also head of the Department of Clinical DNA-diagnostics. A molecular geneticist, two technicians, a part-time secretary and a part-time quality manager were employed. Equipment was bought, space rented and the first test cases were performed.

http://www.nuffieldbioethics.org/behaviouralgenetics/index.asp

Extractions: Genetics and human behaviour: the ethical context Researchers in the field of behavioural genetics are examining how genes and the environment influence human behavioural traits such as aggression, anxiety, homosexuality, intelligence, novelty-seeking and anti-social behaviour. Much of the research focuses on behavioural characteristics that we all share to varying degrees, rather than traits that are considered to be abnormal, unhealthy or pathological. This is a complicated and often controversial area of genetic research. As well as concerns about the validity of the scientific methodologies involved, there are many ethical, legal, social and practical implications. These include concerns about the effects of developing genetic tests for normal behavioural traits and the way in which such information could be used to try to predict, change or select such traits. The scope of the Council's 1993 Report Genetic screening: ethical issues was limited to serious diseases. In focusing on the major disorders, the scope of the 1998 Report on Mental disorders and genetics: the ethical context was similarly restricted. This raised the question whether there were important issues relating to genetic influences on personality and behavioural characteristics within the normal range that merited examination by the Nuffield Council. Because the rapid rate of scientific progress in human genetics will lead to the identification of an increasing number of genes associated with behavioural traits, the Council agreed that it was important to anticipate the ethical and social implications raised by this research.
