  FDA and politicos take steps that will kill millions by needlessly obstructing and delaying personalized genetic medicine. Technology Review: Consumer Genetic Tests Under Scrutiny : On May 19, the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce sent a toughly worded letter to three CEOs, including James Plante of San Diego-based Pathway Genomics. Pathway was preparing to sell an over-the-counter genetic-testing kit at Walgreens.

But the committee's questions prompted Walgreens to postpone its plans to sell Genetic Health Report. Archives:
