Hodgson J, Metcalfe S, Gaff C, Donath S, Delatycki M, Winship I, et al.
Eur J Hum Genet . 2015 Jul; 24(3):356-60. PMID: 26130486
When an inherited genetic condition is diagnosed in an individual it has implications for other family members. Privacy legislation and ethical considerations can restrict health professionals from communicating directly with...

BMC Med Genet . 2014 Mar; 15:33. PMID: 24628824
Background: Genetic information given to an individual newly diagnosed with a genetic condition is likely to have important health implications for other family members. The task of communicating with these...

McClaren B, Aitken M, Massie J, Amor D, Ukoumunne O, Metcalfe S
Genet Med . 2013 Jan; 15(7):533-40. PMID: 23348769
Purpose: Newborn screening for cystic fibrosis is increasingly available, but cascade testing following the diagnosis in a child has received little attention. We previously reported low levels of cascade testing...

Genet Test Mol Biomarkers . 2012 Oct; 17(1):21-4. PMID: 23098241
Aim: Hemochromatosis is a common disorder of iron overload most commonly due to homozogosity for the HFE C282Y substitution. A workplace-screening program was conducted in which over 11,000 individuals were...

Aust Health Rev . 2012 May; 36(2):218-23. PMID: 22624645
Background: Evaluation of the social and economic outcomes of health research funding is an area of intense interest and debate. Typically, approaches have sought to assess the impact of research...

Flouris A, Hawthorne G, Aitken M, Gaff C, Metcalfe S
J Community Genet . 2012 Mar; 1(4):175-83. PMID: 22460300
To support developments in genetics education, we constructed the GPGeneQ questionnaire to assess skills required for the practice of genetics by general practitioners (GPs). We describe the process of developing...

Eur J Hum Genet . 2012 Jan; 20(5):505-9. PMID: 22234159
As the results of the Human Genome Project are realised, screening for genetic mutations that predispose to preventable disease is becoming increasingly possible. How and where such screening should best...
