We describe results from the first year of a three year economic evaluation of genetic services in the context of DNA probes provided at three genetic centres in Great Britain. The analysis so far has concentrated on the costs of providing DNA diagnostic services. Estimates are given of the total costs of providing DNA probe services at each of the three centres, together with information for assessing the cost implications of future developments in these services. DNA probe services are likely to be funded as a Regional specialty. This paper concludes that relative to other developing medical technologies and as an investment by Regions, DNA probe services are inexpensive. An appraisal of the benefits to be derived from DNA probe services is still to be undertaken.
我们描述了在英国三个基因中心提供DNA探针的背景下，对基因服务进行的为期三年的经济评估第一年的结果。到目前为止，分析主要集中在提供DNA诊断服务的成本上。给出了三个中心各自提供DNA探针服务的总成本估算，以及用于评估这些服务未来发展成本影响的信息。DNA探针服务可能作为一项地区特色服务获得资金支持。本文得出结论，相对于其他正在发展的医疗技术以及作为地区的一项投资而言，DNA探针服务成本低廉。对DNA探针服务所能带来的益处的评估仍有待进行。
