This genetic information is deeply private. It can reveal intensely sensitive information about us, including our propensities for certain medical conditions, our ancestry, and our biological familial relationships. Some researchers have also claimed that human behaviors such as aggression and addiction can be explained, at least in part, by genetics. … Our genetic blueprint must also be entitled to Fourth Amendment protection, he wrote.
This genetic material, which is shed constantly everywhere by everyone, is ripe for collection and abuse by law enforcement without a warrant, Halley noted during a May 18 phone interview with this news organization. Any argument that privacy protections were lost on the theory of abandonment is untenable in light of the unique nature of DNA, he maintained.

Ohio State researchers name 19 genes associated with heart muscle disease
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Researchers at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center led an international group of experts that worked together to classify 19 genes associated with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) as having high impact on the heart muscle disease.
Researchers believe most of DCM has a genetic background, and at least 30% of people with DCM have a family member with the disease. First-degree family members (daughters, sons, brothers, sisters and parents) of a patient with DCM are encouraged to undergo genetic testing for the disease. However, current genetic testing panels analyze dozens, sometimes hundreds of genes, and they often have limited scientific support, making genetic results clinically difficult to interpret.

“She’s confused, and there’s a lot of misinformation out there, so it’s heartbreaking to watch her go through this and be unable to help from so far away,” deSouza said last week at the STAT Health Tech Summit. “And that story has played out so many times over the last year.”
