Upon completion of this activity, the learner will be able to: 1. Identify clinical and genetic characteristics and considerations associated with Alzheimer disease (AD). 2.

A genetics perspective on prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths among American men. In a small percentage of men, prostate cancer occurs as a result of inheriting a mutation in a major gene predisposing to this disease. The genome-wide search for prostate cancer susceptibility genes holds the promise of making genetic testing for prostate cancer risk available in the future and for ultimately developing better tools for disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
