Find Cures For Diseases Through Court Genetic Exams

By Marcie Goodman


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.

The patents were removed by a ruling made by the United States Supreme Court so now, blood tests can be sent to other researchers who are making extraordinary strides in finding cures for diseases that affect the kidneys, and breast cancer. A lot of cures can be found because the highest court in the judicial system stated that a gene could not belong to anyone.

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.

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.

Some families have a long histories of physical deformities and mental defects and the exam can pinpoint where the trait began. Some families are defensive when certain secrets are exposed so it is difficult to get State agencies to ask the courts system to order the tests. Some physicians will order certain tests just to diminish the amount of fear that a person has about a disease that other family members have encountered.

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 citizens might choose to protect reproductive rights by using court genetic exams to prove that their reproductive organs are performing as they should be naturally. A parent can view the test results and know that an unborn child is developing well, and is free of any birth defect abnormalities.
