Using Genetic Information Responsibly
WE EXPECT OUR CLIENTS TO SEEK PROFESSIONAL ADVICE CONCERNING ANY
LIFESTYLE ACTIONS THAT MIGHT BE SUGGESTED BY THE INFORMATION WE
OFFER.
One Person Genetics believes that:
> Every adult has the right to access
information relating to their own health, so that they can take
informed decisions
> Prevention is preferable to cure. One Person Genetics will
therefore focus on providing information which has been shown
to reduce the probability of illness or to reduce the negative
impact of illness or associated medical interventions
> People are capable of interpreting fairly complex information
when it relates to their own well-being
> People recognize that scientific advance is a continual
process. Nonetheless, that information which exists should be
made available
> Individuals should benefit from information derived from
genome research, much of which has been publicly funded
|
One Person Genetics Tests
One Person Genetics has a number of strict
criteria for including any test:
> The test must provide useful
information to the customer - information on which they can
realistically act and which will improve their health prospects
> Links between the variation
and specific practical beneficial lifestyle choices (e.g. diet)
must be established and referenced in multiple independent peer
reviewed journal articles in the scientific literature
> One Person Genetics will
not provide tests for single gene diseases directly to the public
> One Person Genetics does
not provide genetic services for forensic or paternity testing
