Overview

To increase access to testing, DNA Direct has created a web- and phone-based, virtual genetics clinic. Genetic testing results can be complex, and in some cases, do not provide a definitive "yes" or "no" answer. Therefore, DNA Direct's services focus on personalized test result interpretation and supportive materials and services. DNA Direct's solution: - Provide individuals with education and the opportunity to decide whether testing is right for them. - Confidentially collect relevant personal and family health information. - Use medical guidelines to determine their potential medical benefit from genetic testing. - Receive test result interpretation via a comprehensive, personalized report available on a secure, personal webpage. - In addition to test results, receive personalized information about personal genetic risks, how other factors contribute to genetic risk, how to modify risk factors, and how to share genetic risk information with relatives and medical professionals. - Learn more using the DNA Direct's extensive, up-to-date educational resources, which provide easy to understand genetic information as well as pre- and post-test considerations. DNA Direct recognizes that web-and phone-based genetic testing is not appropriate for all people, and that it provides an innovative and responsible alternative to enable individual access to genetic testing in compliance with state and federal laws.
