    Abstract This unit presents an overview of the most commonly used Web-based information resources for clinicians seeking to apply molecular or array-based genetic testing to patient care, learn more about newborn screening, or understand the molecular basis of inherited diseases. It is also for consumers seeking advocacy or scientific/management information, and for genetics professional societies.

    Abstract Genome-wide epigenetic modification plays a pivotal role in regulating gene expression through chromatin structure and stability, tissue-specific and embryonic developmental specific gene regulation, and genomic imprinting. Mechanisms include chromatin remodeling through histone modification and DNA methylation, RNA associated gene silencing and chromosome inactivation, and genomic imprinting. These epigenetic mechanisms provide an added layer of transcriptional control of gene expression beyond those associated with variation in the sequence of the DNA. Variation in epigenetic regulation helps explain genetic diversity, but significant changes in epigenetic regulation can produce diseases. Advances in understanding epigenetic mechanisms have been accompanied by new therapeutic options and targets for treatment. This review focuses on a basic understanding of epigenetics and some of the diseases associated with epigenetic alterations.

    Abstract Genomic medicine is a relatively new concept that involves using individual patients' genomic results in their clinical care. Genetic technology has advanced swiftly over the past decade, and most providers have been left behind without an understanding of this complex field. To realize its full potential, genomic medicine must be both understood and accepted by the greater medical community. The current state of professional medical education in genomics and genomic medicine is reviewed, including ongoing plans to expand educational efforts for medical students, clinical geneticists, and nongeneticist physicians.

    Abstract Purpose: The American Board of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ABMGG) certifying examinations (CEs) are designed to assess relevant basic knowledge, clinical knowledge, and diagnostic skills of board-eligible candidates in primary specialty areas. The ABMGG in-training examinations (ITEs) provide formative feedback regarding knowledge and learning over time and assess readiness to attempt board certification. This study addresses the validity of the ABMGG ITE by evaluating its relationship with performance on CE utilizing established psychometric approaches.
    Methods: Statistical analysis included bivariate Pearson correlation coefficients and linear regression to evaluate the strength of associations between ITE scores and CE scores. Logistic regression was used to assess the association between ITE scores and the probability of passing each CE.
    Results: Logistic regression results indicated that ITE scores accounted for 22% to 44% of the variability in CE outcomes. Across 3 certification cycles, for every 1-point increase in ITE scores, the odds ratio for earning a passing score increased by a factor of 1.12 to 1.20 for the general CE, 1.14 to 1.25 for the clinical CE, and 1.12 to 1.20 for the laboratory CEs.
    Conclusion: The findings show a positive correlation between performance on the ITE examination and performance on and passing the ABMGG CE.

    Abstract Purpose: To report a case of Batten disease due to a previously unreported mutation in PPT1.
    Methods: A 9-year-old girl presented with classic clinical findings of Batten Disease.
    Results: Genetic testing for the mutations in the most common Batten disease gene, CLN3, was negative. Evaluation of a panel of genes known to be implicated in neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses revealed disease causing mutations in PPT1, one of which was novel.
    Conclusion: Mutations in PPT1 typically cause the infantile form of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis. Clinical diagnosis of the juvenile form of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, Batten disease, should still be considered in cases with negative CLN3 genetic testing. Batten disease can occur due to genetic heterogeneity. Testing of other members of the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis gene family can lead to confirmation of the correct diagnosis.

    Abstract Newborn screening (NBS), since its implementation in the 1960s, has traditionally been successful in reducing mortality and disability in children with a range of different conditions. Lysosomal storage disorders (LSD) are a heterogeneous group of inherited metabolic diseases that result from lysosomal dysfunction. Based on available treatment and suitable screening methods, the LSDs that are considered for NBS generally include Fabry, Gaucher, Krabbe, MPSI, MPSII, MPSV, Metachromatic leukodystrophy, Niemann-Pick, and Pompe. Utilizing traditional and expanded criteria for consideration of NBS leads to a set of fundamental questions that need to be explored when considering the opportunities and challenges of adding LSDs to NBS panels.

    Abstract Purpose: To assess the utilization of genetics on the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE®).
    Methods: A team of clinical genetics educators performed an analysis of the representation of genetics content on a robust sample of recent Step 1, Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK), and Step 3 examination forms. The content of each question was mapped to curriculum recommendations from the peer reviewed Association of Professors of Human and Medical Genetics white paper, Medical School Core Curriculum in Genetics, and the USMLE Content Outline.
    Results: The committee identified 13.4%, 10.4%, and 4.4% of Steps 1, 2 and 3 respectively, as having genetics content. The genetics content of the exams became less pertinent to the questions from Step 1 to 3, with decreasing genetics content by exam and increasing percentages of questions identified as having genetics content in the distractors only.
    Conclusion: The current distribution of genetics in USMLE licensing examinations reflects traditional curricular approaches with genetics as a basic science course in the early years of medical school and de-emphasizes clinical relevance of the field. These observations support the notion that further integration is required to move genetics into the clinical curriculum of medical schools and the clinical content of USMLE Step exams.
