Synopsis

Genetic testing has changed the way doctors can treat their patients. By sequencing sections of a person's DNA, medical professionals can determine if a person is at a higher risk of getting a specific disease or disorder. But is our health care system — and the patients — ready to handle this new generation of medical care? In this week's episode, we talk about predictive genetic testing and how it's impacting doctors and paitents with James Evans, the Bryson Distinguished Professor of Genetics and Medicine at the UNC School of Medicine, and the editor-in-chief of Genetics in Medicine.
