In response to the on-line publication by the European Journal of Human Genetics today (Wednesday) of an article by US researchers led by Dr. Robert Cook-Degan, a former member of the US Office of Technology Assessment, showing that Myriad Genetics, providers of the BRCA1/2 genetic test in the US, has amassed vast quantities of clinical data without sharing it, Professor Martina Cornel, chair of the European Society of Human Genetics' Professional and Public Policy committee, said:

"We are very concerned that such important data is being withheld from those who most need it. Interpreting the variants of unknown significance (VUS) that may be found on analysing the patient's genome plays an essential part in being able to provide proper counselling and if necessary, preventive or therapeutic guidance. By not sharing their data on the VUS obtained from individuals undergoing BRCA1/2 testing, where Myriad is the sole commercial provider of a test in the US, geneticists have been unable to develop the up-to-date algorithms that are necessary to best interpret the effects of genetic variants. While Myriad has access to public databases in order to help interpret their VUS results, this is currently not reciprocal.

"We know that, regrettably, medical geographic inequities are common, but what is particularly worrying about this situation is that it is the first time that such inequities have been based on a lack of access to clinical information, rather than lack of a product. Myriad's stated aim to enter the European market more vigorously may lead to unfair competition with academic institutions for predictive precision. It is vital that progress towards personalised medicine, which holds out so much promise, is not hindered by companies maintaining private genomic databases. Policymakers should take an urgent look at the regulatory and reimbursement issues involved in genomic testing in order for all the data that is essential to understanding the clinical significance of VUS to be made public, to the benefit of patients and healthcare providers alike."

Bearded Vultures Part 2 8 October 2012 – Video

Bearded Vultures Part 2 8 October 2012
Lammergeier, lammervanger or bearded vulture... a majestic bird that might have slipped under the survival radar had Sonja Kruger and her task team not been keeping a close eye on them. While bearded vultures are not threatened globally, in South Africa there are fewer than 300 individuals left in the wild. The vultures are threatened by the traditional medicine trade, range contraction, poisoning and disturbances while feeding to name a few. Together with the Bearded Vulture Task Force and other conservationists, Bonne tries to solve the unanswered questions about the habits of this endangered bird. On the cliffs and crags of the Drakensberg, we take a peep at the juveniles in their precariously positioned nests as adventure sports meets scientific technology. The adults are monitored differently to the juveniles with their own set of unique...and long-suffering...challenges. What do the tagging and DNA testing mean for the survival of this species? What else needs to be done to save this iconic species in South Africa? Phil Lennon, our trusty producer, has been on the story for 5 years.From:5050ChannelViews:0 0ratingsTime:07:00More inEntertainment

Selflove Veckans Brott Leif GW Persson DNA http://www.svtplay.se LADY PORTIA is the Goddess Of Justice" and also Goddess of Opportunity. She represents divine justice to the Earth. Her action is that of balance, with the scales as a symbol; there must be harmony to hold a balance. She went on into perfection, when imperfection began to be externalized, and She was therefore not drawn into discord with mankind. She remained in the inner spheres and only came forth April 9, 1939, for the first time. She started Cosmic Justice into action for the Earth, which must reign supreme once again. It was made known then that She was THE TWIN RAY (flame) of beloved SAINT GERMAIN. She is One of the Members of THE KARMIC BOARD, representing the Seventh Ray on that Board. She became Spokesman June 27, 1954, in honor of SAINT GERMAIN having become the presiding Master for the next two thousand year cycle. One can call to Her for assistance in legal action.
