Genetic testing should not be used for herpes, Alzheimer's or Coeliac disease.   It seems that genetic testing is not all good for health problems.  MedicineWise, a body of doctors and patients, has released an advisory list for scientists.  DNA testing should no be used for coeliac disease, nor for herpes or Alzheimer's.     Identifying a "causative" gene only indicates a probability.  Indeed, screening for herpes in genetic testing for sexually transmitted disease is a misuse of resources.  Millions of dollars of government funding is wasted every year.      A DNA finding is not a black and white issue.  Gene determination is not 100 per cent.  Many people with a "faulty" gene do live without ever getting the so called predetermined disease.  Furthermore, patients can be falsely reassured by a DNA test.   ◆  Chemistry by Ty Buchanan   ◆                       Australian Blog   ★   Adventure Australia   .  .  .  .  .  .  .  . ...
