Direct-to-Consumer Genetic Testing: Introduction

Direct-to-consumer genetic tests allow consumers to access genetic testing without the direct involvement of healthcare providers. Direct-to-consumer genetic tests (DTC-GT) are genetic tests that are distributed directly to consumers to provide genetic information such as ancestry, health traits and health risks) with help of a saliva sample. These tests could be accurate and effective but still it is recommended to use health care professional's advice to perform these tests.
