Find Cures For Diseases 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.

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.

Before the ruling, the right to conduct such tests was denied to physicians and care givers and people that were afflicted with life threatening diseases had no recourse but to endure a great deal of suffering until that company that owned the gene rights did the testing. By Law, no other source could do that vital testing due to ownership rights.

Testing for many type of disorders that are tied to genetic trails can be done now because having alternate sources to perform tests reduces the price of each test. Not many individuals could afford to have family genetics tested because the cost were unaffordable by those that had limited means of support. Now families can afford to order tests that will give people answers to family medical issues.

A genetic exam is usually ordered by child protection agencies when the mother is receiving public assistance. The purpose of the testing is to determine who fathered the child and that person will be held responsible for providing life giving financial support to the child until the child reaches a legal age. Until that discovery is made, the State will take on the responsibility for providing support to the 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.

Some patients will ask the Courts for permission to conduct a full array of testing so that certain suspicions can be ruled out. Recent changes in health or mental attitude might lead some people to think that there is some medical condition present that is making them act weird or out of the ordinary. Some families use the DNA testing process to create a record which could be used if a child was lost.

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.
