James P. Evans, MD, PhD, Bryson Distinguished Professor of Genetics and Medicine, is quoted in an article discussing the fetal genome and the possibility of clinic procedures being introduced in the next couple of years.
In the article “Fetal genome deduced from parental DNA” published in the June 6, 2012 issue of the journal Nature, Dr. Evans notes that “the stakes are high” when it comes to offering such a test in the clinic.
Dr. Evans is a clinical professor in the UNC Department of Genetics and leader of the Clinical Cancer Genetics Program. He is also a member of UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center.
