Population screening for genetic susceptibility to disease.

BMJ (Clinical research ed.) - 1 Jul 1995

Clarke A

Abstract excerpt

Genetic screening for susceptibility to common diseases, such as the common cancers, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes, may soon be technically feasible. Commercial interests should not be allowed to introduce such screening before proper evaluation or without adequate counselling and support. The evaluation of such testing should include psychosocial and medical outcomes and outcomes for those given low risks...
