Genetic screening could reveal hidden high risk for coronary heart disease

Public release date: 20-May-2013 [ | E-mail | Share ]

Contact: Samuli Ripatti samuli.ripatti@helsinki.fi 358-405-670-826 University of Helsinki

The study comprised over 24,000 Finnish subjects and was led by Professor Samuli Ripatti. The results revealed that a panel of 28 genetic markers improved detection of individuals with high risk for coronary heart disease (CHD) (10-year risk 20%) over traditional risk factors.

Identification of high-risk individuals is an important preventive strategy for CHD, because the current guidelines recommend statin treatment for the high-risk group. "The results indicate that genetic markers could be useful in CHD prevention, when used in addition to traditional risk factor screening", said Professor Veikko Salomaa from National Institute for Health and Welfare.

The study shows that genetic screening of individuals at intermediate risk (10-20%) based on traditional risk factors would reclassify 12% of them into the high-risk group. "Statin treatment of the reclassified individuals could prevent hundreds or even thousands of CHD events in Finland. The results are based on large population cohorts but should nevertheless be tested in a clinical setting. Pilot projects studying the effect of this new genetic information on health behavior are now being carried out", said Professor Samuli Ripatti.

Genetic markers improved prediction more efficiently than family history of the disease. Information on family history has been used to reflect genetic risk and it is commonly used in CHD risk evaluation. The results of the study demonstrate the potential for genetic screening of CHD in combination with traditionally screened risk factors in Finland.

British father, 53, has prostate removed after being told he carried defective gene that boosts his chance of cancer

Businessman had an increased risk of cancer through the BRCA2 gene He entered a trial at the Institute of Cancer Research as it ran in his family The BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are linked to an aggressive form of cancer Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy after testing positive for BRCA1

By Amanda Perthen

PUBLISHED: 19:19 EST, 18 May 2013 | UPDATED: 04:29 EST, 19 May 2013

A British father has made medical history by having his healthy prostate removed after discovering that he carries a defective gene that boosts his risk of cancer, it was reported last night.

The businessmans increased risk of cancer through the BRCA2 gene is believed to have come to light when he took part in a trial at the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) in London.

He entered the trial because he has relatives who have suffered from breast or prostate cancer in the past.

Scientists believe that others who know they are carriers will choose to go down the same route (stock image)

The BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are known to be linked to an aggressive form of breast cancer.

Last week Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie revealed she had had surgery to remove both her breasts to reduce the risk of getting breast cancer after testing positive for the rogue BRCA1 gene.

UK Man has Prostate Removed After Tests Reveal 'Jolie' Gene Flaw

Angelina Jolie has revealed she underwent a double masectomy when tests revealed genes associated with breast cancer

A 53-year-old British father has become the first man to have his prostate removed because tests revealed he was carrying a "faulty" cancer gene.

A clinical trial at London's Institute of Cancer Research revealed that he carried the BRCA2 gene, which research shows is associated with a high risk of developing prostate cancer.

Several of the man's family had suffered from breast or prostate cancer, which is why he took part in the study.

The closely associated BRCA1 gene has been known for some time to have links with breast cancer, and last week actress Angelina Jolie revealed that she had undergone a double mastectomy when tests revealed that she carried the gene.

Follow us

After receiving the news the man asked doctors to remove his prostate, which tests had shown to be healthy.

Surgeons were initially reluctant, since the potential side effects of the operation include infertility, incontinence and sexual dysfunction.

MRI scans and a prostate-specific antigen, or PSA tests, did not show the presence of malignant cells, but microscopic examination revealed cell changes associated with cancer, prompting the surgeons to act.

Surgeon Roger Kirby told the Sunday Times: "The relatively low level of cancerous cells we found in this man's prostate before the operation would these days not normally prompt immediate surgery to remove the gland, but given what we now know about the nature of BRCA2, it was definitely the right thing for this patient."

What would you buy? Powerball jackpot reaches $600 million

Fill a pool with giant amounts of chocolate pudding.

Pay for the genetic engineering of a real-life unicorn.

Do something boring like pay off your debt, send your kids to college or start a charity that could, like, solve world hunger or something.

All of these things can (might?) be done if you win the now-all-time-high Powerball jackpot of $600 million, according to the Powerball website.

The next drawing is Saturday and the world waits with bated breath to see who will be the next mega-rich and mega-lucky winner.

Well, not that lucky the Powerball website says the jackpot is only worth $376.9 million in cash only.

The last drawing on Wednesday paid out almost $47,00,000 in non-jackpot prizes around the country and nearly 2.7 million people could count themselves as winners. However, no one claimed the biggest prize.

Michigan already has seen its share of luck so far in the latest lottery craze. A $1 million ticket was sold in tiny Blanchard, sending the locals into a lottery-fueled delirium, according to MLive.

Get creative and tell us what you'd buy with the money if you got the lucky numbers on Saturday in the comments.

Good luck, lottery-playing Ann Arborites. Youll need it.

Where is genetic testing taking us?

The reality is sobering. Ten to 15 years ago we thought that we would be using genetic tests to predict all sorts of diseases, said Prof Tim Spector, a genetic epidemiologist at Kings College London. It turns out to have been wishful thinking.

We used to think there might be five to 10 genes involved in a disease, but we now know there may be thousands that only contribute a tiny amount and interact with each other.

It was hoped that the 1.8 billion human genome project to decipher our DNA would herald a new age in medicine when it was completed 13 years ago. Instead, it revealed that our genetic make up is far more complicated than we had expected.

None the less, scientists have now developed tests for about 2,500 diseases, but almost all are for rare conditions and only a fifth are treatable. Examples include Huntingdons Disease and Cystic Fibrosis.

However, scientists who worked on the human genome project are now striving to unravel the web of genes that play a role in more widespread conditions including obesity, diabetes and autism.

They are analysing the genomes of more than 10,000 people from around the UK who suffer from a range of diseases.Their results are already identifying genes that have weak effects in serious and common conditions.

These may not be useful as a test in themselves, said Dr Jeff Barrett, group leader on the UK10K project at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. But they will help us understand more about these diseases. This can give us clues about how to develop treatments and to develop new ways of screening.

Also on the horizon are new tests for, diabetes, early-onset Alzheimers disease and colon cancer, which may help doctors provide treatments to slow them or prevent them from occurring.

Tests for obesity genes can also present people with the option of changing their behaviour and diet to reduce their chances of becoming obese.

Simultaneously, the development of genetic tests is also resulting in a growing ethical and moral debate about how they should be used. By providing seemingly healthy individuals with a warning that they may suffer from an illness later in their life, doctors are also offering them the chance to prevent it.

Genetic Testing Guidelines Under Fire

If you underwent a genetic test for a heart condition, but the test also revealed that you have a high risk of colon cancer, would you want to know?

A respected scientific society says your doctor should tell you, but the group is receiving criticism for its recommendation that "incidental findings" of genetic tests be shared with patients.

Incidental findings are unexpected results, unrelated to the reason for testing. What to do with these findings has been a controversial issue for adults undergoing genetic testing, as well as children.

In March, the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) released guidelines saying that when patients receive genetic testing for any medical reason, they should be screened for mutations in an additional 57 genes, including mutations that strongly increase the risk of breast, ovarian and colon cancer.

The ACMG argues that doctors have an obligation to look for and report these mutations because there are ways that people can act to reduce their of developing a medical disorder.

However, some researchers and bioethicists say the new recommendations go too far, and take away patients' rights to refuse medical information they do not wish to know.

Informed consent

A crucial part of genetic testing ethics is ensuring that patients understand what a test might find, and what those findings could mean for future treatment.

Under the new recommendations, a patient who consents to any genetic test is consenting to be screened for mutations in an additional 57 genes. Some bioethicists take issue with this approach, because patients may not wish to know their results for all of these genes.

A positive result for any one of these mutations may increase patients' anxiety, or cause them to live their life differently, said Susan Wolf, a professor of law, medicine and public policy at the University of Minnesota.
