  1. Photo: From our friends at NIH Research Matters, here's a story about how genomic technology detects fetal problems. The new approach might help spot abnormalities that conventional methods can't and allow for better planning for early interventions and prevention of stillbirth. More: http://go.usa.gov/gpTm

(Video will be posted on GenomeTV (YouTube channel) in a week or so.) Info at http://qoo.ly/5gxk
  8. Photo: Genetic tests are playing an increasing role in medical practice. In a new position statement, the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) said that clinical information used to interpret genetic tests should be in the public domain where it can benefit everyone -- rather than held privately as some labs are doing. http://qoo.ly/5gm6

  11. Photo: Health researchers-- check out http://consensus.nih.gov/2009/familyhistory.htm and consider including family history as a focus of your research. The “Family History and Improving Health” conference was convened by National Institutes of Health (NIH)  to determine the value of using family history as a screening tool for the risk of common conditions in primary care. The clinical validity and utility of family history data have been demonstrated for several conditions since the 2009 conference, but better methods are needed to collect, interpret, and utilize family history in busy clinical settings.
