New York, DNA or Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid is a nucleic acid that stores all information about genetics. DNA can determine your hair type, skin color and specific qualities of human beings.
So do not be surprised if people are so intrigued with the DNA because they want to know the properties of the gene itself. But unfortunately the proposed sale of a free DNA test was not granted by the drug regulatory authority adan U.S. Food Administration (FDA).
After receiving opposition from the FDA, pharmaceutical company marketing tool Walgreens canceled personal DNA test. Controversial product has not yet been approved by the FDA to use freely.
Quoted from Reuters, Friday (05/14/2010), Walgreens claims that products marketed with Pathway Genomics can help consumers obtain genetic information. This is useful for predicting the health condition based on the history of descent.
Pathway-party calls at least 70 diseases that can be predicted using these tools, including diabetes, blindness, and genetic kelaianan cystic fibrosis. Health conditions that can be derived can also be predicted for example obesity.
In one set of tools that will be marketed with a price of 20-30 dollars is (approximately USD 180-270 thousand), there is an envelope for saliva sample manaruh. Samples can be sent to the laboratory Pathways, then consumers have to pay 79-249 dollars to get a complete analysis.
Related to the lack of permission from the FDA, Pathway argued that this tool is not intended for medical use and care so it does not require a permit from the FDA. But this argument was rebutted by the FDA.
In a statement sent by mail to several media including Reuters, the FDA said emphatically tool must meet a specific regulation. The letter was written by James Woods, one of the officials at the FDA. Since the beginning of this equipment actually has sparked controversy. Among doctors and experts consider genetic DNA testing is a complex process, and will trigger the panic and confusion in case of errors.
