摘要: The Task Force on Genetic Testing was created to review genetic testing in the United States and, when necessary, make recommendations ensure development of safe and effective tests. A survey explore state undertaken for completed early 1995. survey, as well literature reports other information collected Force, showed problems affecting safety effectiveness, defined by Force: validity utility predictive tests, laboratory quality, appropriate use healthcare providers consumers.
