}The current series of Genomic Medicine review articles concludes in this issue of the Journal with the publication of an article on cognitive impairment and autism by Mefford and colleagues.1 The topic of this article is an appropriate capstone for the Genomic Medicine series: it highlights the clinical advances in genomics regarding the care of patients with neurologic conditions, and it shows the potential of genomic science to further accelerate the pace of discovery in the neurosciences…

The expansion of genetic testing in the clinical laboratory is well under way, with many clinically validated genetic tests already in use and many obstacles remain for full incorporation of whole‐genome testing.
Genomic Medicine: Too Great Expectations?
- Political Science, MedicineClinical pharmacology and therapeutics
- 2013
As advances in genomic medicine have captured the interest and enthusiasm of the public, an unintended consequence has been the creation of unrealistic expectations that have a negative impact on individuals as well as genomics in general.

Technological advances — which include array comparative genomic hy bridization (CGH), single-nucleotide-polymorphism (SNP) genotyping arrays, and massively parallel sequencing — have transformed the approach to the identification of etiologic genes and genomic rearrangements in the research laboratory and are now being applied in the clinical diagnostic arena.
