An article, co-authored by Regents’ Professor Gary Marchant, Faculty Director of the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law‘s Center for Law, Science & Innovation, was featured inĀ Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News. Marchant co-authored the article with Rachel Lindor, M.D., J.D., a resident at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN.
The article titled, Will Liability Drive Personalized Medicine? explores the rapid growth of genetic data and technologies and how it might present additional liability risks to healthcare providers.
In the article, the authors assert that practitioners should exercise extra care in handling genetic information and carefully document each genetics test that is used as well as the reasoning for why other tests were not used.
