| 摘要 |
Presymptomatic genetic testing is an investigation of individuals at risk of genetically conditioned disease or predisposed to a disease, undertaken before that disease has presented symptoms. The scope of presymptomatic diagnosis is still limited and is confined almost exclusively to relatively rare disorders, for which reason only comparatively few people are confronted with the problems entailed by examinations of this kind. But there is reason to assume that the target group for presymptomatic genetic testing will be extended to include the entire population when the mapping of the human genome provides increased scope for studying popular diseases such as cancer, psychogenic diseases and cardiovascular disorders. The purpose of the report is to focus on the ethical issues linked with the use of presymptomatic genetic testing.（參閱網址）
