Find Medical Solutions 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.

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 person may be able to benefit from the genetics identified through Court ordered exams if the right agency is the one placing the request. An unmarried mother that is supported by Government funding can receive DNA tests so that the father of the unborn child can be identified. The judicial system will hold that parent responsible for paying financial support until the child is an adult.

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.

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.
