Cross-sectional survey on genetic testing utilization and perceptions in Wisconsin Amish and Mennonite communities

Katie B. Williams et al.

Summary: Amish and Mennonite communities have increased prevalence of recessively inherited disorders due to founder variants. A survey conducted in Wisconsin Plain communities revealed that Mennonites were more in favor of carrier screening for metabolic disorders and other surgical conditions, while less in favor of asymptomatic testing for neurologic and lethal disorders. The survey responses also indicated diversity in views towards genetic testing among Plain community members.

Rapid deployment of a telemedicine care model for genetics and metabolism duringCOVID-19

Natasha Shur et al.

Summary: Telemedicine has played a crucial role in the current COVID-19 pandemic, emphasizing the importance of safe and effective patient care. The program, focusing on patient's homes, aimed to increase access to care, reduce missed work, and improve scheduling by conducting visits through physician medical geneticists, genetic counselors, and biochemical dietitians. This pilot-program successfully optimized patient safety and workforce preservation, providing full access to patients during the pandemic and proving the effectiveness and value of telemedicine for a complex medical population.
