Abstract Completion of the international Human Genome Project (HGP) in 2003 resulted in significant advances in our understanding of how genes function and interact together. One area of rapid growth has been the widespread development of genetic tests. A genetic test can be broadly defined as the analysis of an individual's genetic material. A genetic test may be used to detect the presence or absence of abnormalities that may cause a specific genetic disease or disorders. Increasingly, genetic tests are also being used to predict responses to medication and to ascertain an individual's susceptibility to common, complex disorders. Due to the complexities surrounding genetic information, between 3 and 5 percent of the annual HGP budget is set aside to study the ethical, legal, and social issues that arise.

[Editor's note: This presentation did not provide abundant details regarding the specific genetic variations that were associated with enhanced treatment responses—or why these variations had been suspected of affecting pain sensitivity. Readers should wait for the published version of the study for further documentation of this intriguing study.]

The most challenging aspect of ordering genetic testing is not understanding the tests themselves, but rather educating patients so that they truly understand the benefits, risks, and limitations of testing.
