title: Predictive genetic tests for employment purposes: why not?
abstract: Given the uncertainty that characterizes genetic information in relation to the pressing ethical and deontological questions involved in their acquisition and subsequent use, and in the context of enormous social relevance, it is essential to have international legislation authorizing the use of such tests for genetic monitoring of employed persons compatible with the need to protect their privacy.
