APOGEE-Net/CanGèneTest est un réseau international de recherche et de connaissances étudiant les défis posés par les soins et les politiques de santé incluant ceux reliés aux services de génétique de laboratoire. Son objectif général est d'améliorer le transfert technologique d'innovations génétiques qui sont utiles au plan clinique et d'un rapport coût/efficacité intéressant vers le système de santé, ainsi que de stimuler le développement de politiques de santé éclairées par les données probantes. Utilisant une approche multidisciplinaire, nous visons à étudier le cheminement du test génétique, de sa découverte dans le laboratoire de recherche fondamentale jusqu'à son utilisation dans un contexte clinique. De plus, grâce à notre bulletin électronique et ce site WEB, nous espérons contribuer à la dissémination d'une information juste et pertinente à tous nos collègues intéressés par ce domaine de la recherche, en aval de la découverte des gènes, mais nécessaire pour traduire les découvertes cliniquement valides et utiles en soins de santé innovateurs.

Instrument for internal assessment of the quality of genetic counselling within a genetic counselling clinic
This instrument was created by EuroGentest Unit 3 for self evaluation of the quality of the services at a genetics clinic, with special emphasis on genetic counselling. The instrument consists of a set of standards and measurable outcomes for genetic counselling, including items from waiting times and physical clinical environment to access to peer support and continuing professional education, supervision of junior staff, and the actual communication with counselees. It is believed that this instrument can be applied in self assessment across different systems of genetic healthcare.

A Collaborative Approach to Genetic Testing: A Community Hospital’s Experience (restricted access)
The field of cancer genetics is evolving rapidly, and much has changed over the past ten years in the way services are being provided and by whom they are being provided. This study recounts here the experience with the evolution of cancer genetic services in a community setting, focusing on collaboration with non-genetics providers to offer genetic testing for hereditary cancer. This approach allows for the most effective use of genetic counselors’ expertise for challenging cases, and enables the patient to remain within their community to allow for better access to resources for long-term follow-up.

Genetic testing should involve counsellors
Anyone considering a direct-to-consumer genetic test should ensure a genetics professional is involved, U.S. genetic counselors advise. Officials with the National Society of Genetic Counselors say without a genetic professional or healthcare provider test results may be misinterpreted.

Grounded Theory in Genetic Counseling Research: An Interpretive Perspective (restricted access)
Some of the genetic counseling methods adhere to the traditional conventions of scientific research (e.g., objectivity, reliability, validity, replicability, causality and generalizability). When such studies are evaluated by reviewers who are well versed in scientific methods, the rigor of the study may be readily apparent. However, when researchers are using methods that do not conform to traditional scientific conventions, the distinction between well conducted and poorly conducted studies may become more difficult to discern. This article focuses on grounded theory because it is a widely used qualitative method. It highlights key components of this method in order to contrast conventions that fall within a scientific paradigm to those that fall within an interpretivist paradigm. The intent is to illustrate how the conventions within these two different paradigms yield different types of knowledge claims—both of which can advance genetic counseling theory and practice.

ResearchGATE - A virtual Network of Scicentists
ResearchGATE offers tools tailored to researchers' need. Whether people are working with a co-researcher in a different country or even continent, or would like to find a forum to discuss research ideas and results, ResearchGATE allows to keep in touch with scientists all over the world. New research contacts can be found in people performing in the same field or in different fields using the same techniques. ResearchGATE connects researchers and information.
