Though it is hard to predict
when these devices will be ready
for use in the medical field, Kim
wrote that he predicts it will take
less than a decade.
In terms of using these conduc-

said there are many possibilities
for consumer electronics that
have not yet been realized.
"Once the materials become
available, it will create a window

"All of the University Police
officers who are on patrol -
regardless of what area of campus
they are assigned to for that shift
- are also doing patrols in the
North Ingalls area and then also
in other areas of Central Campus
due to some of the other incidents
that have been reported," Brown
said.
She said while North Ingalls

Among Beck's findings is the

including pottery, an iron cloth-
ing hook and iron nails and tacks.
Beck said he was disappoint-
ed that, due to lack of interest,
he was unable to set up a field
school in which students could
have been given the opportunity
to help excavate the site. How-
ever, he said he hopes that the
discovery will boost interest in
the program and possibly enable
such a program to take root next

She added that the increased
patrols in the northern Central
Campus area do not detract from
officer's presence in other areas,
saying that University Police will
not "neglect" other parts of the
community.
The increased presence began
on July 26 when AAPD announced
that it was investigating DeWolf's
death as a homicide, Brown said.
While there is no end date to the
heightened security, she said
patrols would likely return to
normal should AAPD investigators
solve the case.

investigation is ongoing, the fra-

"I hope to involve University
of Michigan undergrads and talk
to graduate students about the

He added that University

experience if they participated
in the potential field school next
summer.
"If I get the field school
next summer, students will be

Toolkit connects
mutation carriers
with extended family
By WILL GREENBERG
Daily StaffReporter
While genetic testing has long
provided people with an idea about
their susceptibility to certain
diseases and conditions, there has
been no specific way of sharing
that information with genetic
relatives until now.
A multi-departmental study
at the University is piloting the
use of the Family Gene Toolkit, a
program in which patients who
have mutations that increase the
risk of cancer - as confirmed
by genetic testing - are given
assistance contacting family
members who are also at risk.
Currentlythestudyonlyfocuses
on two mutations - BRCA
and BRCA2 - whose presence
indicates an increased risk of
breast and ovarian cancer for
women, prostate cancer for men
and other forms in both genders.
Associate Nursing Prof. Maria
Katapodi, principal investigator
for the Toolkit, said in the past
she has often found patients who
received genetic testing that
exposed certain mutations would
only share their news with their
immediate family, if anyone,
leaving distant and second degree
relatives uninformed even when
they are still at high risk of also
having the mutation.
Katapodi said this creates a two-
fold problem: first, more distant
family members don't get the
information they need to prevent
the disease and, second, having the
patient pass the news is less reliable
andcanleadtofurtherconfusionor
problems within the family.
"Genetic information is
complicated information," she
said.
Katapodi said Family Gene
Toolkit works by orchestrating
the conversation between the
patient and the family members;

the patient with the mutation
meets with the high-risk relative
twice over a webinar with Toolkit
staff present and discusses the
situation. Then the participant
and family member have follow-up
phone calls with a nurse.
Katapodi said they are focusing
mostly on only contacting high-
risk family members and only
dealing with participants wii
BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations.
Katapodi said the trial stage
lasted for about a year starting last
February and the program is now
in the testing process.
"They have this trusted source
where we explain what this
means for them and help facilitate
processing this information," she
said.
However, sharing possibly life-
changing information to someone
who did not seek testing remains
relatively controversial.
But Katapodi said the
mutations the Toolkit program
examines are not deterministic,
meaning having the mutation
alone doesn't confirm a person
will get the disease.
She added that the Family
Gene Toolkit does not conduct or
advocate for genetic testing, only
dealing with participants who
have already received testing
elsewhere.
"For people, it's good to have
the choice," Katapodi said. "Once
they hear the information they
can choose, 'Well what do I want
to do with this information?' And
that is perfectly acceptable; we
all respect an informed choice."
Sofia Merajver, professor in the
School of Medicine and School of
Public Health, has worked along
with Katapodi and others on the
project as a clinician.
Merajver said family members
were generally receptive to being
sought out and getting the full
information.
"Most humans are curious about
their own destiny," Merajver said.
"We can give them information
that hopefully powers them to
utilize that risk information to act
intheirown lifestyle."
