The objective of this article was to synthesize current information on genetic health services for common adult-onset conditions by examining studies that have addressed the outcomes, consumer information needs, delivery, and challenges in integrating these services. Original research articles and systematic reviews dealing with common chronic adult-onset conditions were reviewed. A total of 3,371 citations were reviewed, 170 articles retrieved and 68 articles included in the analysis. The study findings suggested that many gaps in knowledge about organization, clinician and patient needs must be filled to translate basic and clinical science advances in genomics of common chronic diseases into practice.
