" Perhaps GDR has a better chance of selling their test overseas."
I think Mr Lionel posted an article about a law suit in hawaii against a health care company that did not test for the gene and the poor chap died prematurely of a second stroke. It suggests the american market really needs the POC stroke gene kit. China too. In fact, I'd estimate that given the choice, 99.9% of middle class stroke sufferers would gladly pay hundred quid to ensure they have the right medicine to prevent a second stroke in the crucial first 2 days. But ignorance is bliss and they will be completely unaware that the stroke drug does not work for people with specific genes.
Tbh, I've just thought of a great marketing idea for laboratories, sorry all!
If all the important genetic markers tests for allergies to certain medicines (AIHL also affects old people , not just babies) were packaged together, offered as a full suite of test results at any time (ie BEFORE anyone gets ill) and the result is then added to their medical record, as a sort of genetic once in a lifetime MOT, then I'm sure people would take it up. If it was offered for just 100 quid. One blood sample and say 50 different market tests in the suite for 100 quid, were time is NOT critical. That would be true preventative medicine. I recall reading that NHS thought that if everyone took statins from the age of 45, it would not only prevent an enormous number of heart disease and strokes but it would save the NHS billions in the long term.
