<h3>Importance</h3> Detection of disease-associated variants in the<i>BRCA1</i>and<i>BRCA2</i>(<i>BRCA1/2</i>) genes allows for cancer prevention and early diagnosis high-risk individuals. <h3>Objectives</h3> To identify pathogenic likely (P/LP)<i>BRCA1/2</i>variants an unselected research cohort, to characterize the features associated with P/LP variants. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This is a cross-sectional study adult volunteers (n = 50 726) who underwent exome sequencing at...
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an underdiagnosed dominant genetic condition affecting approximately 0.4% of the population and has up to a 20-fold increased risk coronary artery disease if untreated. Simple screening strategies have false positive rates greater than 95%. As part FH Foundation's FIND initiative, we developed classifier identify potential patients using electronic health record (EHR) data at Stanford Health Care. We trained random forest from known (n = 197) matched...
BackgroundCardiovascular outcomes for people with familial hypercholesterolaemia can be improved diagnosis and medical management. However, 90% of individuals remain undiagnosed in the USA. We aimed to accelerate early timely intervention more than 1·3 million at high risk heart attacks strokes by applying machine learning large health-care encounter datasets.MethodsWe trained FIND FH model using deidentified data, including procedure diagnostic codes, prescriptions, laboratory findings,...
There is currently insufficient scientific evidence to support routine nondiagnostic use of germline genome sequencing in healthcare settings and population screening, but an increasing number health systems are piloting genomic projects for clinical care.• In principle, numerous diagnostic or prognostic tests based on genes variants could be used different purposes across the life span, evidence-based approach urgently needed evaluate their possible utility facilitate appropriate...
<h3>Importance</h3> Genetic disorders are historically defined through phenotype-first approaches. However, risk estimates derived from phenotype-linked ascertainment may overestimate severity and penetrance. Pathogenic variants in<i>DICER1</i>are associated with increased risks of rare common neoplasms thyroid disease in adults children. This study explored how effectively a genome-first approach could characterize the clinical traits germline<i>DICER1</i>putative loss-of-function (pLOF) an...
This Viewpoint describes principles of DNA-based population screening and knowledge gaps that must be addressed before increased use DNA to identify persons with monogenic risk can implemented in programs.
Pharmacists' involvement in a population health initiative focused on chronic disease management is described.Geisinger Health System has cultivated culture of innovation management, as highlighted by its ambulatory care pharmacy program, the Medication Therapy Disease Management (MTDM) program. Initiated 1996, MTDM program leverages pharmacists' pharmacotherapy expertise to optimize and improve outcomes. pharmacists are trained credentialed manage over 16 conditions, including atrial...
The MyCode Community Health Initiative (MyCode) is returning actionable results from whole exome sequencing. Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) an inherited condition characterized by premature cardiovascular disease.We used multiple methods to assess care in 28 participants who received FH results. Chart reviews were conducted on 23 individuals the sample and 7 participated semistructured interviews.Chart for with a Geisinger primary provider found that 4 (17% of 23) at LDL-C (low-density...
Population genomic screening has been demonstrated to detect at-risk individuals who would not be clinically identified otherwise. However, there are concerns about the increased utilization of unnecessary services and associated increase in costs. The objectives this study twofold: (1) determine whether is a difference healthcare costs following disclosure pathogenic/likely pathogenic (P/LP) BRCA1/2 variant via program, (2) measure post-disclosure uptake National Comprehensive Cancer...

NA variants that are expected to confer risk for arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) recommended as returnable secondary findings from clinical genomic sequencing.However, ARVC presents several distinct challenges the care and management of patients ascertained through this genome-first approach.We discuss these present recent cases exemplify their impact in a setting.We also propose standard approach evaluations surveillance finally potential diagnostic innovations may...
Background Secure forensic mental health services treat patients with high rates of treatment-resistant psychoses. High obesity and medical comorbidities are common. Population-based studies have identified high-risk groups in the event SARS-CoV-2 infection, including those problems such as obesity, lung disease immune-compromising conditions. Structured assessment tools exist to ascertain risk adverse outcome infection. Aims To assess infection a complete population psychiatry using...
