General

OECD Guidelines for Quality Assurance in Molecular Genetic Testing

Now available on our website in English and French

New OECD Guidelines for Quality Assurance in Molecular Genetic Testing will set a framework for genetic testing services. EuroGentest members have been heavily involved in the preparation of these guidelines as well as other guidelines to harmonize the practice of gentetic testing. EuroGentest is organising a series of roadshows presentations at national level to explain to stakeholders the implications of the new guidelines and suggested pathways to implementation. The first is scheduled for Poland in September.

Public health

Guidelines on counselling (draft)

As patients' understanding of the results and consequences of the test is an integral part of genetic testing, EuroGentest also aims at improving the quality of genetic counselling services associated with genetic testing, across Europe. One of the goals is to establish recommendations for genetic counselling in connection with different testing situations.
