The aim of this study is to assess attitudes towards genetic testing in Georgian public. We used a Likert-scale written questionnaire. The survey was completed by 480 respondents. A majority of respondents (75.3%) curious about predictive genetic testing and 40.6% of participants preferred to be tested only for disorders that are treatable or preventable. Approximately 65% of the participants would like to test their newborn children for late-onset disorders and undergo preconception carrier screening (73%). In addition, the majority (59%) of our respondents were not worried that genetic testing would further stigmatize people with disabilities. These results indicate that the respondents surveyed in our study may have placed particularly high importance on the availability of genetic testing and greatly valued access to genomic information.
本研究的目的是评估格鲁吉亚公众对基因检测的态度。我们使用了李克特量表书面问卷。480名受访者完成了调查。大多数受访者（75.3%）对预测性基因检测感到好奇，40.6%的参与者只愿意接受可治疗或可预防疾病的检测。约65%的参与者希望为其新生儿进行迟发性疾病检测，并接受孕前携带者筛查（73%）。此外，大多数（59%）受访者并不担心基因检测会进一步给残疾人带来污名化。这些结果表明，我们研究中的受访者可能特别重视基因检测的可及性，并非常重视获取基因组信息。
