Failure to Detect Spinal Muscular Atrophy Antenatally: Error in Genetic Testing
本件婦女因產前SMN基因檢測錯誤,致產下患有重度SMA之新生兒,偕其夫對醫院與醫檢師起訴請求賠償。一審法院為原告部分勝訴,惟遭二審法院完全否定賠償之請求,嗣最高法院廢棄發回後改判原告部分勝訴而告確定。筆者就本件所涉及之法律面與事實面若干問題進行評析,並強調法學與醫學科際整合之重要性。
A SMA carrier pregnant woman was mis-diagnosed as a non-carrier, and subsequently gave birth to a newborn who suffered from severe type SMA. The district court found partially for the plaintiff, yet the high court found for the defendant which was reversed and remanded by the supreme court, and the final decision found for the plaintiff. This article will deliberate the disputes herein as matter of law and fact, with special emphasis on the multidisciplinary approach to medicine and law.
