部分原因是缺乏具有遗传学专业知识的医疗保健专业人员，随着更多疾病的基因检测可用，初级保健医生将在提供一线遗传服务方面发挥更大的作用。我报告了对初级保健医生、精神科医生、医学遗传学家和遗传咨询师进行的全国调查的一些初步结果。正如预期的那样，没有任何非遗传学专家群体拥有与遗传学家一样多的知识。与遗传问题患者接触最多的非遗传学医生比没有接触过此类患者的医生拥有更多的知识。非遗传学家医生比遗传学家更有可能在咨询中提供指导。列举了未来研究的问题。
Due in part to shortages of health care professionals with expertise in genetics, primary care physicians will assume a greater role in providing frontline genetic services as genetic tests for more diseases become available. I report some preliminary findings from a national survey of primary care physicians, psychiatrists, medical geneticists and genetic counselors. As expected, no group of nongenetics specialists had as much knowledge as geneticists. Nongeneticist physicians with the greatest exposure to patients with genetic problems had more knowledge than physicians without such exposure. Nongeneticist physicians were more likely to be directive in counseling than geneticists. Problems for future research are enumerated.
