Commerce and genetic diagnostics.
The revolution in molecular biology and molecular genetics has begun to reveal the sequence of events that links genes and disease. As a result of activities such as the Human Genome Project, a parallel revolution in technology is bringing nearer to hand the possibility of readily available genetic diagnostics. Genetic testing services have begun to move out of the academic medical centers and into the private enterprise arena. Under these circumstances it is important to understand the factors affecting the availability and application of this powerful predictive tool in a for-profit mode.
