Agenda: On March 8 and 9, 2011, the committee will discuss and make recommendations on scientific issues concerning direct to consumer (DTC) genetic tests that make medical claims.

The discussion will include consideration of the benefits and risks of direct access for different tests or categories of tests that would support differences in the regulatory approach. Clinical genetic test categories that have been proposed to be offered directly to consumers include: (a) Genetic carrier screening for hereditary diseases (e.g., cystic fibrosis carrier screening); (b) Genetic tests to predict risk for future development of disease, in currently healthy persons (e.g., tests to predict risk of developing breast or ovarian cancer); and (c) Genetic tests for treatment response prediction (e.g., tests to predict whether individual will respond to a specific drug). (2) The risks of and possible mitigations for incorrect, miscommunicated, or misunderstood test results for clinical genetic tests that might be beneficial if offered through direct access testing. (3) The level and type of scientific evidence appropriate for supporting direct-to-consumer genetic testing claims including whether it should be different than that required to support similar claims for prescription use clinical genetic tests.
