Find Cures For Diseases Through Court Genetic Exams

By Marcie Goodman


Cures can be found for crippling diseases through the testing that occurs with Court genetic exams. Not all individuals have been able to get these medical evaluations accomplished because certain research sites owned the patents to a particular set of genes that were present in the tests that studied genetics, and every test done had to be routed through that research facility instead of through an outside source.

Now, no company can get a patent on a gene and doctors are able to send out tests to a variety of researchers who may have a treatment that will improve the quality of life for people ill with cancer, kidney disease, breast cancer, and a wide range of other diseases that people will suffer from on a daily basis.

Prior to the ruling made by the Supreme Court, doctors were restricted from sending tests and blood samples to any one other than the company which owned the patent for a particular set of cancer genes. Studies on these genes were limited to women and tests were done only on women who were part of certain age ranges.

Before the Supreme Court ruling, many patients were hindered from getting the genetics test because the cost for the testing soared in the thousands, which is not a figure that most citizens on limited budgets could afford to try. Since the Courts decision, women are able to schedule a variety of tests that will help provide answers to medical issues and other issues that affect the ability to live normal lives.

Genetics can be examined by an agency involved in providing health and welfare payments to a parent for the care of a child whose parentage is questioned. The exams will give the agency the evidence it needs to demand that the parent be held accountable and pay the child support each month. Without that evidence, some parents will not step up and take responsibility for the care of a child.

A genetics exam can help explain why some people will experience certain symptoms and people with other trails never do. Some diseases will affect the fraternal side of a family line, and not affect the maternal line of the families personal history. Not many State agencies ask for genetics to be traced through testing because of fears that it would violate the families right to privacy.

Some patients will ask the Courts for permission to conduct a full array of testing so that certain suspicions can be ruled out. Recent changes in health or mental attitude might lead some people to think that there is some medical condition present that is making them act weird or out of the ordinary. Some families use the DNA testing process to create a record which could be used if a child was lost.

Some people will pursue court genetic exams to ensure that reproductive organs are functioning properly. From an amniocentesis, a parent can learn whether an unborn child is growing abnormally. Some traits can be identified through the testing and parents may choose to terminate the pregnancy rather than give birth to a child with birth defects.
