Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) genetic testing (or Direct to home screening for genetic defects) is a type of genetic test that is accessible directly to the consumer without having to go through a health care professional. Usually, to obtain a genetic test, health care professionals such as doctors acquire the permission of the patient and order the desired test.
DTC genetic tests, however, allow consumers to bypass this process and order one themselves. Benefits of DTC testing are the accessibility of tests to consumers, promotion of proactive healthcare and the privacy of genetic information.
