Postmortem examination identified an underlying inherited cardiomyopathy, and subsequent genetic analysis of postmortem DNA found the Arg502Trp variant in the MYBPC3 gene, a common cause of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.1 Given the familial risk, relatives were advised to seek medical attention. The woman raises questions, including what the disease risk is for herself, her two children, siblings, and parents, what the gene result means, and whether the family should pursue genetic testing. She is concerned about preventing any further sudden deaths in her family. Here we provide an overview of the basic principles of genetic testing and how these can be applied in a general clinical setting.\u0000\u0000Inheritance of traits hails from Mendel’s pea experiments in the 1800s, where he showed that parents contribute an allele each to their offspring, with one “dominating” the other. This principle is the basis of modern medical genetics, where Mendelian diseases are inherited in families as autosomal dominant, recessive, or X linked traits (box 1). Adding to the complexity in humans, we also see incomplete penetrance—ie, the non-expression of a trait, and clinical heterogeneity, where variability in clinical characteristics due to environmental and other genetic factors occurs. While Mendelian inheritance refers to the inheritance of …","PeriodicalId":93911,"journal":{"name":"BMJ (Clinical research ed.)","volume":"358 ","pages":"j4101"},"PeriodicalIF":105.7,"publicationDate":"2017-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1136/bmj.j4101","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"35456492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
