The Need for Education and Clinical Best Practice Guidelines in the Era of Direct-to-Consumer Genomic Testing.

Many people share the results of their direct-to-consumer personal genomic testing (DTC-PGT) within the primary care setting, seeking interpretation of and counsel about the results.

New guidelines must be developed to help PCPs maximize the potential of emerging DTC-PGT technologies.
