With enough room for growth, people can use Court genetic exams to explore links to various diseases. When doctors submitted tests for studies, certain restrictions were in place that limited where genetic testing could take place. If a specific set of genes were studied, a patent kept doctors from sending tests to other labs, but a ruling made by the Supreme Court changed those requirements and doctors are now able to treat patients more rapidly.
Now, no company can get a patent on a gene and doctors are able to send out tests to a variety of researchers who may have a treatment that will improve the quality of life for people ill with cancer, kidney disease, breast cancer, and a wide range of other diseases that people will suffer from on a daily basis.
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.
Before the Supreme Court ruling, many patients were hindered from getting the genetics test because the cost for the testing soared in the thousands, which is not a figure that most citizens on limited budgets could afford to try. Since the Courts decision, women are able to schedule a variety of tests that will help provide answers to medical issues and other issues that affect the ability to live normal lives.
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.
Through more detailed testing, a family history is thoroughly examined through a microscope, and many medical symptoms can be diagnosed because the trait for the disease can be traced through family members for many generations. Many States hesitate to process such tests that require genetics traces without a order from a judge. The tests are also ordered by physicians to quell patients fears.
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.
Through the court genetic exams can be accomplished that will help families make hard decisions. Children with abnormalities do not have to be born into a life where it is incapable of survival. Parents can identify traits that prove that the child can not survive outside the womb. Some parents choose to terminate the pregnancy instead of giving birth to a child that has too many deformities that it can not leave a happy life.
