Abstract

The article discusses the legality of direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing in the U.S. The introduction of personal genome testing services has led to arguments over the legal issues related to services offered by DTC genetic testing. In addition, the types of genetic testing services available complicate the issue because companies might be using information for recreational purposes only or for medical diagnostic information.
