Color to Use $4.6M NIH Grant to Build 'All of Us' Genetic Counseling Resource

The company will provide counseling in multiple languages and connect people to local healthcare resources so they can use the genetic information they've learned in their own care.

FDA Actions on PGx Testing Confuse Genetic Industry Players

The genetic testing community is having a tough time deciphering FDA's intentions based on its authorization of 23andMe’s PGx test and a recent safety alert.

JG: the lack of good penetrance estimates is a critical problem as we move from a world where variant interpretation is mostly done in a diagnostic setting to predicting disease risk in currently unaffected individuals. #ASHG18

When the meaning of rare mutations is reassessed patients may be the last to know nytimes.com/2018/10/16/healt…

The Results of Your Genetic Test Are Reassuring. But That Can Change. (Published 2018)

Laboratories frequently “reclassify” genetic mutations. But there is no reliable system for telling patients or doctors that the results of their genetic tests are no longer valid.
