At the end of this presentation, participants should be able to:

1. Compare benefits and limitations of different genomic technologies (What are the tests actually looking at and what do they miss?)

2. Describe the impact of sequencing technology on gene discovery and diagnosis (Should you recommend genetic testing for your patient?)

3. Anticipate the pitfalls in public perception regarding genetic testing (What should you do when your patient asks you to order a test?)
