Genetic testing may not be the best way to study one's ancestry
Darkfrog submitted, created time 5 days 4 hours (www.nature.com)
In recent years, companies providing personal genetic exams have sprung up like mushrooms. For a fee and a cheek swab, they can will identify the client's countries of ancestry, even to specific regions.
However, Charmaine Royal of the the Duke Institute for Genome Sciences has serious reservations:
"The general limitation, I'd say, of all of these tests, is that they can't pinpoint with 100% accuracy who your ancestors may or may not be. Some people are concerned that the biogeographical ancestry test reifies the notion of race 
Gene-testing startup's study responds to critics

Navigenics, a Silicon Valley gene-testing startup is sick of all the criticism. The service that Navigenics offers is called personal genetic testing. Their customers are given a genetic writeup that covers markers for diseases like multiple schlerosis, glaucoma, obesity, and some kinds of cancers. Neither the article nor the Navigenics website says whether these customers are people who already have a family history of these conditions and wish to learn whether they inherited the tendency or whether they are simply curious
Gene-testing firms face legal battle

The state of California is clamping down on companies that offer direct-to-consumer genetic testing in a move that threatens the burgeoning industry. Meredith Wadman looks at a grey area in US regulation.
Last Wednesday, as California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger prepared to tell a biotechnology industry convention in San Diego that his state “is one of the best places to set up shop,” Kári Stefansson was opening a letter that had just landed on his desk at deCODE genetics in Reykjavik, Iceland.
A Genetic Clue to Quitting Smoking

A blood test may one day be able to predict how a smoker will respond to two popular methods of kicking the habit... Nicotine replacement, like gums and patches, wean the smoker off nicotine gradually, but Zyban, an antidepressant, works to fight nicotine cravings in the person's brain. Some people respond much better to one strategy or the other.
Genetic Information Nondescrimination Act passes!!
Darkfrog submitted, created time 6 months 3 weeks (www.nature.com)
The Genetic Information Nondescrimination Act has passed in the U.S. government. Now employers and insurance companies are forbidden on the federal level to use the results of genetic testing to hire, fire or give or deny insurance. Basically, this means that the movie Gataca won't happen in real life.
Genetic Information Nondescrimination Act poised to pass
Darkfrog submitted, created time 6 months 3 weeks (www.nytimes.com)
The U.S. Congress is preparing a bill that would forbid employers and insurance companies from denying or terminating employment or coverage based on the results of genetic tests. Federal law already prohibits group policies, such as those attained through one's employer or other organization, from discriminating using genetic information, but this bill would apply accross the board.
This bill is likely to pass, and I think it will remove one of the main fears associated with genetic testing (finally finding out that one has a 40% chance of lung cancer is still there, though).

Down's syndrome test eliminates miscarriage risk

A new non-invasive test that examines fetal DNA can pick up genetic abnormalities such as Down's syndrome and, unlike more intrusive tests that may raise the risk of miscarriage, the new diagnostic tool developed by the US company Ravgen poses no threat to the mother or fetus.
