2 Two universal principles of human genetics Virtually all diseases (except some cases of trauma) have a genetic component There are no perfect human specimens – all of us carry a significant number of DNA glitches

10 How do health disparities arise? Most genetic variation is shared amongst all groups, though frequencies of disease-associated variants may vary. Differences in disease incidence between populations may also be due to diet, lifestyle, or other environmental factors. Sorting this out requires research on large numbers of individuals where both environment and heredity are carefully investigated.

11 In order for all populations to benefit fully from genomic medicine, all populations need to be part of genomic research

12

13 The major contributing genes for diabetes, heart disease, cancer, mental illness, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, asthma, etc. will be identified within the next 5 – 7 years.

16 Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications An integral component of the Human Genome Project

17 2010 -- Predictive genetic tests available for a dozen conditions -- Interventions to reduce risk available for several of these -- Will reasonably effective legislative solutions to genetic discrimination be in place? BUT…. Mainstreaming of individualized preventive medicine -- Will access be inequitable? Will health disparities persist? -- Pharmacogenomics is standard of care for several drugs

18 2020 -- Gene-based designer drugs available for diabetes, Alzheimer’s… -- Gene therapy standard of care for several conditions BUT…. Genomic therapeutic revolution in full swing -- Intense debate underway on non-medical uses of genetics

19 None of this can happen without the best and brightest minds of the current scientific generation

20 National Human Genome Research Institute National Institutes of Health http://www.nhgri.nih.gov/Policy_and_public_affairs/ Minority_Activities/index.htm

21 GOAL 1/ African American, Alaskan Natives, Hispanic American, Native Americans, and Pacific Islanders. 2/ Ethical, legal and social implications of genetics and genomics research. To increase the number of underrepresented 1 minorities trained in genomics and ELSI 2 research

22 PRINCIPLES Underrepresented communities must be involved. Opportunities must be available at all career levels. Programs must be anchored in institutions involved in genome and ELSI research. All NHGRI programs must be responsive to the Plan. Plan must have achievable goals, measurable outcomes, appropriate reviews, and undergo evaluation.
