"The tests should be getting approved in
the not too distant future. I never did
understand why the FDA would place as many
demands on these tests as they would a "device".
I believe there are several companies already
using these type tests and are going to be
considered as precedent-setting. After all,
this is a new medical frontier that the FDA
has to fashion a new set of rules for. And
it's going to take time"

Maybe the FDA didn't want different tests flooding the market claiming to have the best 'angle' on personalized medicine? Think of all the companies who would try and take advantage of the situation, making up tests based looseley on irrelevant facts, and the public's basic lack of understanding about the issues. I mean imagine, there would be tests for cancer for left-handed people, for people with a dangling earlobe, for people who have ever had chicken pox, for people who have ever owned or been around a sheepdog for more than 36 hours accumulative, etc, etc, etc. There are more than a million different scenarios probably. And all of them could help somebody perhaps, to a degree, in choosing the correct medication.
