Find Medical Solutions 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.

Owning a gene strand is not possible through this ruling because genes are a product that comes from the natural sources derived from nature. Since no corporate entity can own the genes that contain markers for cancer causing diseases, the tests that diagnose or rule out cancer in the persons gene pool can be sent to a wider range of resources. Treatment for those people affected by diseases of the kidney and those suffering from breast cancer will improve because other sources of testing can be used.

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.

The testing fees that were charged by the owner of the genes patent were high and most people that were fighting diseases could not afford to pay those costs. Since the tests can be sent to outside sources, the cost for testing for genetic disorders have dramatically dropped. Women in all age groups can now afford to be tested for any medical abnormality and get treatment and live a happier life.

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.

The results for this type of examination will help substantiate a patients suspicions that a problem exists with their own health. Some patients will choose to submit to DNA testing just so they will have a record of the information on file at home should a relative be discovered at some point in their life or a death occurs in the family and the test will confirm that the deceased is a family member.

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.
