Description
Today on MedNet21, we're going to discuss Genetic Disease Update.
In this presentation, attendees are provided with a contemporary update on thegenetic evaluation of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). In addition to describing the relevant genetic causes and outlining the broad implications of genetic testing in DCM, we explore a case example demonstrating the family based genetic evaluation of DCM. Finally, we introduce future directions of DCM genetics that will become relevant to future clinical practice. Learners should also expect to learn updated and detailed information on genetic causes of hereditary breast ovarian cancer, and management of patients with this condition.

Objectives
As a result of this educational activity, webcast participants will be able to: define hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome; provide a case example of genetic/genomic testing and management of a patient and family with hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome; describe the current state of the genetics of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), including (1) list clinically relevant DCM genes, (2) outline the Genetic Testing process for DCM, and (3) discuss the guidelines for the family-based genetic evaluation of cardiomyopathy; explore a genetic DCM case example; and consider future directions of DCM genetics.Webcasts Files
