Summary Introduction
To review:
The participation of the companies that should be mandatory or not in the Genetic Testing Registry
Introduction:
Genetic Testing Registry (GTR) was created by the National Institutes of Health. It was designed to increase the transparency by allowing the companies to publically disseminate the information related to the utility of their products. By this, the companies can share the information related to the usefulness of their genetically tested products, patients, genetic counselors, health care workers, and the research work for the general public.
