Pdf Summary

The ACMG Genomics Case Conference is a resource for healthcare professionals in the field of genetics. The conference provides educational information for clinical geneticists, genetic counselors, and other medical practitioners involved in genetics and genomics. The accuracy and completeness of the information presented is not guaranteed by the ACMG. The conference features presenters who discuss topics related to telegenetics and digital genetics. The presenters, David Flannery, Alisha Keehn, and Megan Lyon, do not have any conflicts of interest to disclose. The planning committee for the conference includes Anne Slavotinek and John Bernat, who have disclosed their financial relationships and grant/research support. The conference is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) and offers 1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ for participants. To obtain credit, participants are required to complete an evaluation. The session learning objectives include understanding how telemedicine can be used in genetic evaluation, identifying telegenetic resources, and knowing the regional genetics network in practice. Participants can ask questions to the panelists during the presentation. Telemedicine is defined as the use of electronic communication to improve patient health through real-time interaction between patients and healthcare professionals. Telemedicine equipment includes cameras and devices that transmit patient data, such as images, breath sounds, and heart sounds. An example of a telemedicine genetics consult is provided, where a consultation was conducted remotely for a baby with ambiguous genitalia. The consultation led to a diagnosis of 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia. The National Coordinating Center for the Regional Genetics Networks (NCC) supports the conference, and its information and conclusions should not be considered official positions or policies of HRSA, HHS, or the U.S. Government. Participants can ask questions to panelists during the conference, and details about the upcoming UDN Grand Rounds session are provided. A recording of the seminar will be available in the ACMG Genetics Academy.
