Genetic Testing in the Era of New Treatments for Alzheimer’s Disease

ELSI • GC Exchange, hosted by The Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine, is an educational series designed for genetic counselors. This series provides a unique opportunity to earn Category 1 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) while exploring various Ethical, Legal, and Social Issues (ELSI) pertinent to genetic counseling.

In this talk, attendees learned to identify ethical, legal, and social issues posed by genetic testing for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and describe how APOE testing can be used to inform treatment decision making for AD.
