Moments of Truth in Genetic Medicine
Explores the historical development and evolving understanding of genetic disease. It highlights how interdisciplinary collaboration, including contributions from sociologists, historians, and medical professionals, shaped the field. The source particularly examines the impact of social and familial knowledge on scientific understanding and clinical practice, using cases like familial dysautonomia and PKU screening to demonstrate how patient advocacy and everyday observations informed medical approaches. Furthermore, the text discusses the standardization of genetic research methods, such as karyotyping and twin studies, and critiques the socio-political and economic forces that have promoted the idea of "all disease is genetic disease," often with a focus on diagnostic capabilities over actual cures.
