The regulation of direct-to-consumer genetic tests.

Human molecular genetics - 15 Oct 2008

Kaye Jane

Abstract excerpt

The past year has been marked by the emergence of several companies, such as 23andMe, deCODEME, Navigenics and Knome, offering tests using genome-wide technology direct to consumers over the internet. On the basis of the published research findings of GWAS and other studies, these companies will calculate an individual's risk to a number of common diseases, without the necessity of going through a medical...
