ESHG consultation on genetic testing for common disorders

June 16, 2009

The European Society of Human Genetics (ESHG) has issued draft recommendations for the regulation of genetic testing for common complex disorders, and is seeking comment from ‘the human genetics community’. The document notes the scope for improved diagnosis, prognosis, management and prevention for common disorders based on emerging genomic knowledge, but contrasts it with the slow delivery of tangible benefits.
