Down syndrome is usually not inherited, although some cases involve an inherited chromosomal rearrangement, and some cancers involve inherited predisposition rather than inheritance of the cancer itself. The registry files it under both disease and phenotypic trait. Genetic testing, counselling and, increasingly, gene therapies are available, and results have implications for families, so genetic counselling is recommended and testing raises privacy and ethical issues, with positions attributed.","purpose":"Let an agent explain hereditary and genetic disorders, relay inheritance patterns, categories, testing and therapy from genetics sources with ethical issues attributed, route people to genetic counselling, and distinguish hereditary disorders from congenital conditions generally, acquired diseases, infectious diseases and phenotypic traits, without diagnosing individuals.","scope":{"in":[],"out":[],"boundaries":[]},"distinguishingFeatures":["Genetic cause","Inheritance patterns","Family implications","Testing available"],"structure":{"bundles":[{"id":"understand","name":"Understand","description":"What a genetic disorder is.","layers":[{"id":"definition","name":"Definition","description":"Definition.","findings":[{"id":"definition-finding","name":"Definition","description":"Definition.","questions":[{"text":"What is a genetic disorder, and how does it differ from congenital conditions generally, acquired diseases, infectious diseases and traits?","kind":"definition"},{"text":"Is someone concerned about their own or their family s genetic risk, in which case genetic counselling is recommended?","kind":"boundary"}]}]},{"id":"categories","name":"Categories","description":"Categories.","findings":[{"id":"categories-finding","name":"Categories","description":"Categories.","questions":[{"text":"What are single-gene, chromosomal, mitochondrial and multifactorial disorders?","kind":"definition"},{"text":"Which entry fits the specific category?","kind":"action"}]}]}]},{"id":"inheritance","name":"Inheritance","description":"Inheritance.","layers":[{"id":"patterns","name":"Patterns","description":"Inheritance patterns.","findings":[{"id":"patterns-finding","name":"Patterns","description":"Patterns.","questions":[{"text":"How do dominant, recessive, X-linked and mitochondrial inheritance work?","kind":"provenance"},{"text":"Which references are standard?","kind":"provenance"}]}]},{"id":"mutations","name":"Mutations","description":"New mutations.","findings":[{"id":"mutations-finding","name":"Mutations","description":"Mutations.","questions":[{"text":"How do new mutations cause disorders without family history?","kind":"provenance"},{"text":"Which sources are cited?","kind":"provenance"}]}]}]},{"id":"testing","name":"Testing","description":"Testing and therapy.","layers":[{"id":"testing","name":"Testing","description":"Genetic testing.","findings":[{"id":"testing-finding","name":"Testing","description":"Testing.","questions":[{"text":"What kinds of genetic tests exist, and why is counselling recommended?","kind":"provenance"},{"text":"Which entry fits genetic counseling?","kind":"action"}]}]},{"id":"therapy","name":"Therapy","description":"Gene therapy.","findings":[{"id":"therapy-finding","name":"Therapy","description":"Therapy.","questions":[{"text":"What gene therapies have regulators approved, checked against current sources?","kind":"provenance"},{"text":"Is the information current?","kind":"boundary"}]}]}]},{"id":"context","name":"Context","description":"Ethics.","layers":[{"id":"privacy","name":"Privacy","description":"Genetic privacy.","findings":[{"id":"privacy-finding","name":"Privacy","description":"Privacy.","questions":[{"text":"What do advocates and regulators say about genetic privacy and discrimination, with positions attributed?","kind":"provenance"},{"text":"Is the presentation neutral and attributed?","kind":"boundary"}]}]},{"id":"screening","name":"Screening","description":"Population screening.","findings":[{"id":"screening-finding","name":"Screening","description":"Screening.","questions":[{"text":"How are newborn and carrier screening programmes used?","kind":"provenance"},{"text":"Which entry fits newborn screening?","kind":"action"}]}]}]}]},"agentConduct":{"may":["Explain inheritance patterns and examples of hereditary disorders in general terms.","Recommend genetic counselling for questions about personal or family risk."],"mustNot":["Interpret a person's genetic test result as a diagnosis or risk figure.","Disclose or infer a person's genetic condition without consent.","Use genetic information to rank, exclude or discriminate against people, for example in work or insurance.","Describe people with hereditary disorders as burdens or defects."],"requiresHuman":["Any reproductive or medical decision based on genetic risk.","Sharing genetic findings with relatives."]},"ethics":{"considerations":["Genetic data reveals information about relatives who never consented.","History shows genetic labels used for eugenics and discrimination."],"affectedParties":["People with hereditary disorders","Their relatives","Prospective parents"]},"owners":{"steward":"The person and their clinical team;
