• W2100094566 abstract "Medical genetics is one of the most advancing fields of medicine. As the number of genetic centres in India is too small, it is necessary that primary care physicians are able to deal with common genetic problems. Therefore, it is required of them to be aware of the basic principles of genetics, molecular genetics and their clinical applications-including genetic counselling, molecular diagnosis, carrier screening and prenatal diagnosis. At present, the undergraduate medical curriculum in India imparts practically no training in medical genetics. Even in developed countries the knowledge about DNA diagnosis and prenatal diagnosis is inadequate among clinicians.'> To assess the knowledge, attitude and practices of medical genetics among Indian doctors, we conducted a questionnaire-based study. Participating doctors (n=94) comprised junior residents, senior residents and consultants in private practice as well as teachers in medical colleges. The knowledge of medical genetics was inadequate in 69.6%, fair in 26.5% and good in 4.2%. More than 80% of the participants had seen patients with genetic disorders and accepted the importance of discussing the genetic component of the disease with the patients. However, 77% had never drawn a pedigree, 85% could not correctly counsel for a common autosomal recessive disorder such as beta-thalassaemia and 70% had never attended an academic session on genetics related to their specialty. The awareness about the utility and importance of medical genetics in patient care was good. In spite of the positive attitude towards genetics, the knowledge and practice of genetics was not satisfactory. The knowledge about pedigree symbols, risk of recurrence of common genetic disorders and availability of molecular diagnostic tests was inadequate. Though this short questionnaire-based study is inadequate to judge the knowledge of genetics accurately, it brings out the need for urgent action. Realizing its importance, the American Society of Human Genetics has developed a medical school core curriculum and recommends that teaching in medial genetics must span the undergraduate medical school curriculum and continue into the postgraduate years.' The objective of teaching medical genetics is to train all clinicians in identifying genetic disorders and providing counselling for common genetic problems. They should be able to identify situations requiring referral to genetic clinics and know about the indications, interpretations and limitations of various tests in . genetics. The Medical Council of India also needs to ensure that adequate stress is given to genetics in the medical undergraduate and postgraduate curriculum, which should be distributed in basic and clinical subjects. Simultaneously, other approaches (short courses.t-' newsletters.vlectures, sessions, in conferences, etc.) to improve the knowledge of genetics among practising clinicians and medical teachers need to be adopted." @default.
