Direct-to-Consumer Genetic Testing FAQ
The Direct-to-Consumer Genetic Testing (DTC-GT) Project Group of the Inter-Society Coordinating Committee for Practitioner Education in Genomics has created a DTC-GT Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) resource designed for the general clinician who may see patients requesting guidance on DTC-GT. This FAQ is intended to help healthcare professionals understand the diverse landscape of DTC-GT, the benefits and limitations of these tests and how results of DTC-GT may affect their patients’ health, wellness and medical decision making.
