A cost-benefit analysis of genetic screening for susceptibility to occupational toxicants.

Journal of occupational and environmental medicine - 1 Jul 1999

Nicas M, Lomax G P

Abstract excerpt

Genetic screening can identify individuals with increased susceptibility to certain workplace toxicants. One conceivable benefit is a reduction in occupational disease costs. We examine this rationale by considering the associations among genetic traits, exposure, disease risk, and disease incidence. Given appropriate information, we describe methods for computing the expectation and variance of the future number...
