Can genetic testing be used as evidence in a Georgia personal injury case?

Yes. Genetic testing, particularly APOE genotyping and BDNF polymorphism analysis, can be introduced through retained medical experts to establish biological predisposition. Georgia courts recognize that defendants must “take plaintiffs as they find them” under the eggshell skull doctrine—a genetic predisposition to prolonged concussion recovery does not reduce the defendant’s liability for the full extent of resulting harm.
