GeneTests

Posted: November 1, 2013 at 2:48 pm

GeneTests is a medical genetics information resource developed for physicians, genetic counselors, other healthcare providers, and researchers.

GeneTests comprises: A Laboratory Directory of over 600 international laboratories offering molecular genetic testing, biochemical genetic testing, and specialized cytogenetic testing for more than 3000 inherited disorders. A Clinic Directory of over 1000 international genetics clinics providing diagnosis and genetic counseling services to patients and their families with known or suspected inherited disorders.

GeneTests searches retrieve links to GeneReviews chapters and related genetic testing information. Note that GeneReviews are NIH-funded and developed and maintained by the University of Washington, Seattle (see http://www.genereviews.org for more information).

The new GeneTests has an updated look and new search functions. It includes all clinical laboratory test listings and genetics clinics listings posted on the former GeneTests site as of May 23, 2013. It does not currently include the non-disease related testing/services of clinical laboratories, test-specific comments, or research laboratories that were part of the original GeneTests site.

Over time, more information and user-friendly features for laboratories, clinics, and users will be added. We welcome your thoughts and suggestions on how to improve GeneTests. Please email us at GeneTests@genetests.org or fill out our user survey.
