Ethical, Legal and Social Implications of Susceptibility Genetic Testing for Late-Onset Neurodegenerative Diseases

2018-06-21

Abstract excerpt

Over the last decade, advances in our understanding about the genetic architecture of complex traits and common diseases, have increased our ability to perform susceptibility genetic testing for diseases in asymptomatic individuals. These technological developments raise complex ethical, legal and social considerations. Here we discuss a series of ethical issues associated with susceptibility genetic testing for A...
