Bioethical and clinical dilemmas of direct-to-consumer personal genomic testing: the problem of misattributed equivalence.

Science translational medicine - 3 Feb 2010

Eng Charis, Sharp Richard R

Abstract excerpt

A number of for-profit companies now provide personal genomic testing services to clients directly, without input from a physician or other health care provider, and the results of these tests include predictions about a broad spectrum of disease risks and traits. Validated clinical genetic testing and direct-to-consumer (DTC) genomic tests differ substantially in their reliability and usefulness, raising many...
