With a genetic test, you can get information about hereditary characteristics and disease risks. Such tests are important for diagnosing and treating disease. At the same time, the use of genetic tests raises several questions and difficult issues. How are genetic tests used in Norwegian hospitals today? What genetic information should be shared? And who should have the right to access information about hereditary diseases in their family?
Senior consultant Ida Wiig Sørensen from the Department of Medical Genetics at Haukeland University Hospital and member of the Biotechnology Council, discusses these questions in an exciting lecture at Litteraturhuset in Bergen.
