Ethical aspects of genetic predisposition to environmentally-related disease

open access: yesScience of The Total Environment, 1996
Some individuals are highly susceptible to disease caused by chemical exposures and this hypersusceptibility can be genetically determined. Because biomarker technology for the determination of genetic predisposition is at the disposal of researchers, the capability therefore exists to include genetic screening in epidemiologic studies. The application
