Managing Health in the Genomic Era
"All clinicians are trained and encouraged to obtain a family health history when interviewing patients. The issue becomes how much time to spend when considering the patient's presenting complaint and how to document the family health history for future retrospective research. The authors have a very valid concept that obtaining more detail may help the understanding of the natural history of disease. It may require a reconsideration of how to aggregate the family health history obtained by many clinicians over the lifetime of a patient, rather than spending an extended period delving into an extensive discussion during one interview with the patient." --Doody
