Description

There are an increasing number of genetic tests available on a service, and potentially on a research, basis. The lecture will review what to expect from a service versus a research lab. There are also an increasing number of types of genetic testing. Examples will be given of the different types, and how these may be interpreted.

Learning Objectives:

• Differentiate between the expectations for and outcomes of service versus research labs.
• Describe the variety of genetic tests and what they can test for.
• Interpret the results given from genetic testing.
