SUMMARY:Beyond the Medical: Genetic Testing for Social Traits Virtual Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, December 9 | 12-1 p.m. ET | Virtual \nAnya Prince\, JD and Jean Cadigan\, PhD will give a talk “Beyond the Medical: Genetic Testing for Social Traits.” \nIn traditional predictive genetic testing\, single gene variants are analyzed to determine whether individuals are at high risk of developing disease. The vast majority of diseases\, however\, are polygenic—caused by many different genes. Polygenic risk scores (PRS) hold promise to predict risk for complex diseases like heart disease or diabetes by measuring the contribution of hundreds of genetic variants at once. Yet beyond prediction of medical outcomes\, the realm of ‘sociogenomics’ is developing polygenic scores (PGS) measuring genetic contributions to social traits and behavioral factors\, such as income\, educational attainment\, sexuality\, and optimism. This presentation will present initial findings of a newly-funded NIH grant to study these complex scores. \nSponsor: UNC Center for Genomics & Society \nRegister: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_5i2AoI6HSHiQmmEjGYNtjw

SUMMARY:Increasing Use and Impact of Family Health History in Medically Underserved Populations
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, November 14 | 2-3:30 pm ET | Virtual \nFamily health history is a risk factor for many common chronic diseases\, such as cancer and heart disease. Knowing a patient’s family health history can aid in earlier diagnoses of genetic conditions\, refine disease risk assessments\, inform timing and type of preventive interventions\, and motivate behavior change. Despite years of public health work promoting its use\, family health history remains underutilized in clinical care\, especially among medically underserved populations. This webinar will focus on challenges\, needs\, and approaches to increasing the use and impact of family health history in medically underserved populations\, both nationally and globally. \nRegistration is required. Sign up on the event website. \nSpeakers: \nNadeem Qureshi\, MD\nClinical Professor\, Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences\nSchool of Medicine\nUniversity of Nottingham Medical School \nKimberly A. Kaphingst\, ScD\nProfessor\, Department of Communication\nDirector of Cancer Communication Research\, Huntsman Cancer Institute\nUniversity of Utah \nModerator: Grant Wood\, Independent Advisor on Clinical Genomics Technology \n \n

SUMMARY:Race\, Society\, and Genetics Virtual Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, October 31 | 12-1 pm ET | Virtual \nVirtual seminar: Race\, Society\, and Genetics \nSpeaker: Marwa Elnagheeb\, MPH\, Senior Coordinator\, Clinical Genome Resource\, UNC Chapel Hill \nSeminar abstract: Interactions between race\, society\, and genetics have played a major role in health disparities and inequities across the world. This presentation examines the history and definition of race\, sources of human genetic variation\, the lack of a biological basis for race\, and career paths in genetics. \nAbout the speaker: Marwa Elnagheeb graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a B.A. in Biology and a Master’s in Public Health. While at UNC\, Marwa’s research has focused on three areas: (1) the impact of genetic variation and epigenetics on differential responses to adverse perinatal exposures\, (2) the effects of maternal host nutrient status on infectious disease development\, and (3) the role of socioeconomic factors in maternal and child health disparities. Marwa is a member of the Berg Lab at UNC and works with the Clinical Genome Resource as a Senior Coordinator to guide expert panels in determining the clinical validity of gene-disease relationships and pathogenicity of variants. \nJoin the seminar on Zoom.
