Genetic testing screening should be broadened to include more potential cancer patients, according to medical geneticist Robert Nussbaum. He called the current restrictions "narrow". The American Cancer Society estimates that about one in five Americans will develop a form of breast cancer, and many women are not screened for it.

Nussbaum also said the science was being held back by the inability to interpret the data within the human genome, and said if the data generated by genetic testing companies and researchers was not "freed up", no progress could be made.
