摘要: Genomic tests are increasingly complex, less expensive, and more widely available with the advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS). We assessed knowledge perceptions among genetic counselors pertaining to NGS genomic testing via an online survey. Associations between selected characteristics were examined. Recent education on was common, but practical experience limited. Perceived understanding clinical modest, specifically concerning tumor testing. Greater perceived correlated time spent in cancer-related counseling, exposure testing, NGS-focused education. Substantial disagreement about role counseling for tumor-based seen. Finally, a majority agreed need supporting this approach optimizing implementation.
