摘要: Although genetic testing provides information that gives some degree of control over a potentially devastating situation, restrictive test licensing and prohibitively expensive fees may deny patients' access to services. A comparative analysis for breast cancer, cystic fibrosis, hereditary hemochromatosis Canavan disease is useful review the social, ethical legal implications medical care research. Keywords: genetic testing; gene patents; cystic fibrosis; hereditary cancer; hemochromatosis
