New genetic tests for women who are expecting
Posted By richards on January 6, 2015
Published January 06, 2015
Women expecting a baby or planning a pregnancy are being pitched a fast-growing array of tests to check if they are carriers for hundreds of mostly rare genetic diseases.
Such genetic testing, called carrier screening, has long been targeted mainly at people of certain ethnic groups such as Ashkenazi Jews, who are at higher risk for some conditions such as Tay-Sachs disease. Now, companies that offer carrier screening are promoting the idea that testing everyone for many diseases is a more effective way to reduce the number of babies born with serious disorders, including cystic fibrosis, a life-limiting lung condition, and Canavan disease, a fatal neurological disorder.
We have the technology and its affordable enough that we dont need to put people into ethnic categories, says Shivani Nazareth, director of womens health for Counsyl Inc., in South San Francisco, Calif., one of the largest carrier-screening companies. If we can offer the same panel to everyone, its so much more efficient.
Scientists keep identifying new gene mutations, or variations, associated with specific diseases. Advances in DNA technology allow companies to quickly screen large numbers of people, using saliva or blood samples, to determine if parents could pass the genetic variations to their children.
Counsyl offers tests that aim to detect heightened genetic risk for at least 98 different diseases, for between $599 and $999. Another company, Gene by Gene Ltd., of Houston, plans in the next few months to introduce First Look, a test billed as the most comprehensive on the market that can screen for more than 300 diseases. The company expects the price could be close to $1,500.
Carrier screening is usually covered by health insurance. Counsyl says the average out-of-pocket bill for its insured patients is between $150 and $300.
There are almost 7,000 known rare diseases, which are defined by the National Institutes of Health as affecting fewer than 200,000 people. Most rare diseases have no known treatment or cure.

Bess Myerson, Miss America who turned to politics and scandal, dies at 90
Posted By richards on January 5, 2015
Bess Myerson, the former beauty queen, television personality and New York politician who spent four decades in the public eye before her glamorous image was tarnished by scandal, has died. She was 90.
Myerson died Dec. 14 at her home in Santa Monica. The Los Angeles County Coroner's Office confirmed her death, which was not publicly announced.
Myerson was an aspiring pianist in 1945 when she became the first Jewish Miss America and a symbol of ethnic pride for Jews emerging from the brutal realities of World War II. She went on to a career as a game show hostess and panelist before entering political life in the 1960s.
As consumer affairs commissioner in the administration of New York Mayor John V. Lindsay, she successfully crusaded for such reforms as unit pricing and open dating of perishable foods, early victories in the consumer protection movement of the 1970s.
Alternately regal and folksy, she became one of the most powerful women in New York politics, credited as a driving force behind the electoral success of Mayor Edward I. Koch in 1977.
Later, she was forced to resign as Koch's cultural affairs commissioner when she was accused of bribery and conspiracy to influence the divorce case of a multimillionaire sewer contractor who was her boyfriend. She was acquitted of all charges after a four-month trial in 1988, but she never returned to public life.
She overcame ovarian cancer, a stroke and the breakup of two marriages while struggling with issues of family and career years before the women's movement made such balancing acts acceptable.
Myerson "aspired to be more than just a beauty queen, and she succeeded like no other before or since," New York journalist Jennifer Preston wrote in "Queen Bess," a 1990 biography.
A complex woman whose erratic behavior sometimes mystified those closest to her, she rebuffed efforts to peg her as an early feminist.
"When someone says to me, 'You're a forerunner of the women's movement,' I say that is bull ..." Myerson said in 1982. "I worked my butt off. I had to survive."
