Promoting children's health through understanding of genetics and genomics.

PURPOSE: To describe the effects of genetics and genomics on children's health care. ORGANIZING CONSTRUCT: The breakthroughs in the Human Genome Project have great potential for disease prediction, treatment, and prevention in the health care of children with chronic health conditions. Most childhood conditions based on a single gene are influenced by a complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors. METHODS: A review of the literature was conducted to determine the most common childhood diseases linked to genetic causes. FINDINGS: Two examples were selected to depict how a health professional would use genetic knowledge to provide holistic health promotion and disease prevention. CONCLUSIONS: Knowledge of the interaction of the genetic profile coupled with a person's lifestyle, work environment, and family context provide a more holistic picture of a person's health profile. The clinical implications are that this knowledge will provide opportunities for health professionals to advise families on individualized treatment options or to tailor health promotion to future disease states based on genes and their interaction with the environment.

Newborn screening and genetic testing.

New screening techniques and diagnostic tests for genetic diseases available for newborn screening can provide information about many diseases long before they are clinically detected. However, this information creates complex questions and ethical dilemmas regarding which newborns should be tested, when testing should occur, availability and costs of tests, and how families should be counseled. There is no national policy regarding newborn screening, which leads to great variation among states' newborn screening programs. This article reviews newborn genetic testing and provides a blueprint for clinicians to improve practice by incorporating into their care knowledge of new developments in newborn testing and screening.

Evaluation of Korean newborns with the Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale.

OBJECTIVES: To determine the unique responses of a group of Korean full-term newborns and to describe the pattern of behavior observed in the first few days of life. DESIGN: A descriptive study describing the behavioral patterns of Korean newborns using the Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale. PARTICIPANTS: Fifty newborns aged 1 to 3 days in a nursery of a large tertiary hospital in Daegu, Korea. RESULTS: Overall scores were at moderate levels in six clusters. These were (a) Response Decrement, (b) Social Interactive, (c) Motor System, (d) State Organization, (e) State Regulation, and (f) Autonomic System. Newborns showed good overall tone and activity level and low amount of irritable behavior. Although reflex responses were generally normal, Korean newborns showed particularly weak responses in standing and walking reflexes. Maternal variables such as employment and previous pregnancy history were related to the scores on the Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale. CONCLUSION: The results of the study indicate that Korean newborns showed a moderate level of autonomic stability and motor control and overall good state organization. These findings also provide some evidence that the mother's health status and lifestyle during the pregnancy may affect newborn behavior after birth.
