1 Strength and weakness of genetic testing in clinical routine. Silvia G Priori MD PhD Molecular Cardiology, IRCCS Fondazione Maugeri Pavia, Italy AND Leon Charney Division of Cardiology, Cardiovascular Genetics Program, Langone Medical Center, New York University School of Medicine, New York, USA DISCLOSURES: Member of the advisory board of Transgenomics and GeneDX

2 Clinical value of molecular diagnosis in inherited arrhythmogenic diseases Define the specific genetic defect Confirm diagnosis in borderline cases/neonates Risk stratification Gene-specific therapy Identification of true sporadic cases Asymptomatic gene-carriers (penetrance) Strength and weaknesses are specific for each disease!

3 The clinical applicability of genetic testing in inherited disorders is disease-specific. Variables to be considered before counseling on the usefulness of genetic screening: Technical Success rate Size of genomic region to screen (number of genes) Clinical Relevance of pre-symptomatic diagnosis Relevance of identification of silent carriers Results influence risk stratification Results influence therapy/lifestyle Prenatal diagnosis is clinically justified Priori SG, Napolitano C - Circulation 2006

22 Clinical value of genetic testing Genetic testing at present time does not have the same indication in all inherited arrhythmias. In some conditions genetic testing is indicated to allow more accurate screening of family members & to identify carriers of disease-causing mutations In other conditions results of genetic testing bears implications for risk stratification and management In some diseases genetic testing is not yet ready for clinical use. As knowledge increases the impact of genetic testing will increase
