Abstract

Direct-to-consumer genetic testing came on the scene 2 decades ago as a means for allowing consumers to access their genetic information without the involvement of a physician or genetic counselor. Results are delivered directly to the consumer, often leading to misinterpretation and needless medical interventions or false reassurance. Increasingly, we are seeing these patients in our genetics clinics for test interpretation, management guidance and confirmatory genetic testing.

摘要

直接面向消费者的基因检测在 20 年前问世，它让消费者无需医生或遗传咨询师的参与就能获取自己的基因信息。检测结果直接交给消费者，这往往会导致误解，并带来不必要的医疗干预或虚假的安心。越来越多的此类患者会到我们的遗传诊所进行检测解读、管理指导和确认性基因检测。
