Privacy

Jump to: navigation, search

Genetic information has enormous implications to an individual and his or her family. The privacy of that information is a major concern to patients: in particular, who should have or needs access to that information. In order to protect personal genetic information and to avoid its inclusion in a patient’s medical record, some patients may wish to pay for genetic testing out-of-pocket if possible.
