“…Canada became part of an international trial to examine this question, and the clinical genetics and prenatal diagnostic services of BC were included (114). This allowed us to accumulate a great deal of information and to recognize subgroups of neural tube defects with increased risk (79,103,114,130,131). Based on mouse work done in BC that showed multiple neural tube closure sites, we published our BC data on human families in which fetuses exhibited vulnerabilities at certain developmental sites (143).…”

Clinical genetics is the application of advances in genetics and medicine to real human families. It involves diagnosis, care, and counseling concerning options available to affected individuals and their family members. Advances in medicine and genetics have led to dramatic changes in the scope and responsibilities of clinical genetics. This reflection on the last 50+ years of clinical genetics comes from personal experience, with an emphasis on the important contributions that clinical geneticists have made to the understanding of disease/disorder processes and mechanisms. The genetics clinic is a research laboratory where major advances in knowledge can and have been made.
