The role of disease characteristics in the ethical debate on personal genome testing.

BMC medical genomics - 19 Jan 2012

Bunnik Eline M, Schermer Maartje Hn, Janssens A Cecile J W

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Companies are currently marketing personal genome tests directly-to-consumer that provide genetic susceptibility testing for a range of multifactorial diseases simultaneously. As these tests comprise multiple risk analyses for multiple diseases, they may be difficult to evaluate. Insight into morally relevant differences between diseases will assist researchers, healthcare professionals, policy-makers...
