"Which patients should be screened for hemochromatosis?
What was once the poster child of genetic medicine has turned out to be much more complicated than anyone thought possible.
By Victoria Stagg Elliott, AMNews staff. May 23/30, 2005.
When David Little, MD, associate professor of family medicine at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, sees a patient with symptoms suggesting hemochromatosis, he orders several phenotypic diagnostic tests. After a confirmed diagnosis, he discusses genetic testing in a very specific way.
'Genetic testing I reserve for people with the disease and their family members, to see who else might be at risk,' he said."
