Genetic testing is a public furor, or high-tech enterprise by non-profit making scams?
Living in New York, Ellen has found her fated to die in ovarian cancer, because her mother and aunt died are therefore, and her mother is suffering from breast cancer. Therefore, the 54-year-old Ellen has decided to do a BRCA gene testing, gene can lead to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer.
She found the "DNA Wizard" — a San Francisco company. Ellen where do testing, results of a BRCA mutation-positive. Ellen quietly bought herself a long-term medical insurance, and increases the life insurance. In September 2006, she made ovarian extirpation, this is the only way to ensure that she does not have ovarian cancer. Now she is working with the Oncology doctors and orthopaedic doctors talking about her mastectomy.
Lead to health problems of interaction between each other and interact with the environmental impact of a dozen or so genes. For example, breast cancer gene mutation of the possibility of cancer in women is 84%; but at the same time, they are not suffering from breast cancer possibility is 16%. Ellen is the future of risk aversion, or eat unnecessary hard time?
Genetic testing is currently in the world are extremely common, the Chinese enterprises also shout out enticing slogan — "unpredictable lifelong disease 2680 element" and "genetic testing 170 species of major diseases." Genetic testing is really let ordinary people aware of their own suffering from a disease risk thereby saving for a rainy day?
Gene detection threshold lower
In the field of DNA analysis, genetic testing become exception easier: online reservations, a few days later a kit will send, on the face side with a small brush to brush gently for 30 seconds, then brush on the prepared envelopes and mail back a short time you will know that your genes.
