Warning From AMP About Direct Access Genetic TestingMary Steele Williams
Genetic testing for Parkinson disease (PD) has not been widely used in clinical practice. In preparation for upcoming precision medicine–designed clinical trials for GBA and LRRK2, we evaluated movement disorders specialists’ current practice, knowledg
In most cases, prenatal diagnosis includes testing for some infectious diseases, such as HIV and syphilis, as well as for the ABO and Rh blood groups. However, screening for genetic diseases is not done, mainly because the facilities and required resources to carry out genetic testing are not...

For main analysis, we chose a false discovery rate approach for multiple testing correction with the significance threshold being false discovery rate–adjusted P < .05, given that the commonly used Bonferroni correction is often too stringent for multiple nonindependent tests. The nominally ...
