Collecting genetic information in primary care: evaluating a new family history tool

Abstract: The FHQ identified most informants with genetic risks that are appropriately addressed in primary care-those with a family history of premature coronary heart disease, those warranting specialist referral, and those who might appropriately be offered carrier testing. However, it was less effective in identifying those with a possible Mendelian disorder for whom more information was required.

“…More than 75 different FHH tools have been created for public use (Wang et al 2011), but few have been evaluated for use in clinical (Wang et al 2011;Reid et al 2009) or population-based settings (Petruccio et al 2008). Most FHH tools are based on a biomedical paradigm, focusing only on the collection of information about disease diagnoses of relatives (Qureshi et al 2005;Feero et al 2008). The U.S.…”

“…61 Subsequently, a host of governmental, not-for-profit and commercial entities have promulgated free, web-based family history tools ( Table 1). Only a few of these instruments are being examined prospectively for accuracy [66][67][68] or utility. 60 The My Family Health Portrait tool, developed through the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, performed as well as a detailed history obtained by a genetic counselor for four common diseases and less well for two others.…”
