    Abstract Parkinson's disease (PD), diffuse Lewy body disease (DLBD), and multiple system atrophy (MSA) constitute the three major neurodegenerative disorders referred to as synucleinopathies because both genetic and pathological results implicate the α-synuclein protein in their pathogenesis. PD and DLBD are recognized as closely related diseases with substantial clinical and pathological overlap. MSA, on the other hand, has a distinctive clinical presentation and neuropathological profile. In this review, we will summarize the evidence linking α-synuclein to these three disorders. Hundreds of patients with point or copy number mutations in the gene encoding α-synuclein,

    Abstract In this Commentary, I describe the events that led from an NINDS-sponsored Workshop on Parkinson Disease Research in 1995, where I was asked to speak about the genetics of Parkinson disease, to the identification a mere two years later of a mutation in alpha-synuclein as the cause of autosomal dominant Parkinson disease in the Contursi kindred. I review the steps we took to first map and then find the mutation in the alpha-synuclein locus and describe the obstacles and the role of serendipity in facilitating the work. Although alpha-synuclein mutations are a rare cause of hereditary PD, the importance of this finding goes far beyond the rare families with hereditary disease because it pinpointed alpha-synuclein as a key contributor to the far more common sporadic form of Parkinson disease. This work confirms William Harvey's observation from 350 years ago that studying rarer forms of a disease is an excellent way to understand the more common forms of that disease. The identification of synuclein's role in hereditary Parkinson disease has opened new avenues of research into the pathogenesis and potential treatments of the common form of Parkinson disease that affects many millions of Americans and tens of millions of human beings worldwide.

    Abstract The probability an individual is a carrier for a recessive disorder despite a negative carrier test, referred to as residual risk, has been part of carrier screening for over 2 decades. Residual risks are calculated by subtracting the frequency of carriers of pathogenic variants detected by the test from the carrier frequency in a population, estimated from the incidence of the disease. Estimates of the incidence (and therefore carrier frequency) of many recessive disorders differ among different population groups and are inaccurate or unavailable for many genes on large carrier screening panels for most of the world's populations. The pathogenic variants detected by the test and their frequencies also vary across groups and over time as variants are newly discovered or reclassified, which requires today's residual carrier risks to be continually updated. Even when a residual carrier risk is derived using accurate data obtained in a particular group, it may not apply to many individuals in that group because of misattributed ancestry or unsuspected admixture. Missing or inaccurate data, the challenge of determining meaningful ancestry-specific risks and applying them appropriately, and a lack of evidence they impact management, suggest that patients be counseled that although carrier screening may miss a small fraction of carriers, residual risks with contemporary carrier screening are well below the risk posed by invasive prenatal diagnosis, even if one member of the couple is a carrier, and that efforts to provide precise residual carrier risks are unnecessary.

    Abstract Objective: To examine user uptake and experience with a clinical chatbot that automates hereditary cancer risk triage by collecting personal and family cancer history in routine women's health care settings.
    Methods: We conducted a multicenter, retrospective observational study of patients who used a web-based chatbot before routine care appointments to assess their risk for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, Lynch syndrome, and adenomatous polyposis syndromes. Outcome measures included uptake and completion of the risk-assessment and educational section of the chatbot interaction and identification of hereditary cancer risk as evaluated against National Comprehensive Cancer Network criteria.
    Results: Of the 95,166 patients invited, 61,070 (64.2%) engaged with the clinical chatbot. The vast majority completed the cancer risk assessment (89.4%), and most completed the genetic testing education section (71.4%), indicating high acceptability among those who opted to engage. The mean duration of use was 15.4 minutes (SD 2 hours, 56.2 minutes) when gaps of inactivity longer than 5 minutes were excluded. A personal history of cancer was reported by 19.1% (10,849/56,656) and a family history of cancer was reported by 66.7% (36,469/54,652) of patients who provided the relevant information. One in four patients (14,850/54,547) screened with the chatbot before routine care appointments met National Comprehensive Cancer Network criteria for genetic testing. Among those who were tested, 5.6% (73/1,313) had a disease-causing pathogenic variant.
    Conclusion: A chatbot digital health tool can help identify patients at high risk for hereditary cancer syndromes before routine care appointments. This scalable intervention can effectively provide cancer risk assessment, engage patients with educational information, and facilitate a path toward preventive genetic testing.
    Funding source: Implementation of the chatbot in clinics was funded by industry support from commercial genetic testing laboratories Ambry, Invitae, and Progenity.

    Abstract The transition from analog to digital technologies in clinical laboratory genomics is ushering in an era of "big data" in ways that will exceed human capacity to rapidly and reproducibly analyze those data using conventional approaches. Accurately evaluating complex molecular data to facilitate timely diagnosis and management of genomic disorders will require supportive artificial intelligence methods. These are already being introduced into clinical laboratory genomics to identify variants in DNA sequencing data, predict the effects of DNA variants on protein structure and function to inform clinical interpretation of pathogenicity, link phenotype ontologies to genetic variants identified through exome or genome sequencing to help clinicians reach diagnostic answers faster, correlate genomic data with tumor staging and treatment approaches, utilize natural language processing to identify critical published medical literature during analysis of genomic data, and use interactive chatbots to identify individuals who qualify for genetic testing or to provide pre-test and post-test education. With careful and ethical development and validation of artificial intelligence for clinical laboratory genomics, these advances are expected to significantly enhance the abilities of geneticists to translate complex data into clearly synthesized information for clinicians to use in managing the care of their patients at scale.
