The rapid evolution of the field of genetics in the past several years has opened new opportunities for diagnosis of treatment of genetic disorders. However, the limited availability of medical geneticists has led to difficulty in meeting this evolving need. Integrating awareness of genetic disorders and genetic screening into primary care may facilitate early diagnosis, while strategic support and cooperative care between primary care physicians and geneticists can improve long term management.
近年来,遗传学领域的快速发展为遗传疾病的诊断和治疗开辟了新的机会。然而,医学遗传学家的数量有限,导致难以满足这一不断发展的需求。将遗传疾病意识和基因筛查纳入初级保健中,可以促进早期诊断,而初级保健医生和遗传学家之间的战略支持和合作护理可以改善长期管理。
