There is growing public awareness and concern regarding dementia risk. In addition, genetic testing is increasingly accessible and is at the point of being integrated into routine clinical practice. As a result, there is a pressing need for treating clinicians to have the appropriate knowledge base to request and consent for diagnostic genetic testing in cognitive clinics. We outline our approach to genetic testing in patients with Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies and vascular cognitive impairment. We discuss when to consider testing, the consenting process, and the interpretation and communication of genetic test results. No data are available.
期刊介绍:
The essential point of Practical Neurology is that it is practical in the sense of being useful for everyone who sees neurological patients and who wants to keep up to date, and safe, in managing them. In other words this is a journal for jobbing neurologists - which most of us are for at least part of our time - who plough through the tension headaches and funny turns week in and week out. Primary research literature potentially relevant to routine clinical practice is far too much for any neurologist to read, let alone understand, critically appraise and assimilate. Therefore, if research is to influence clinical practice appropriately and quickly it has to be digested and provided to neurologists in an informative and convenient way.
