Genetic screening ;The use of genetic, clinical, and epidemiological knowledge, reasoning, and techniques to detect genetic variants that have been demonstrated to place an individual at increased risk of a specific disease. Ethical problems may arise in genetic screening; e.g., when the evidence on clinically relevant benefits is weak, regarding the provision of information to persons of their putative increased risk when there is no effective treatment, potential loss of eligibility for employment and insurance benefits (Dicepid)
