Abstract:
Until recent years, prenatal genetic tests have been almost exclusively developed and implemented by academic physicians and laboratories. In the last several years, industry has led the development of novel prenatal genetic tests, funded clinical trials and implemented these tests into clinical practice. That these efforts have been driven by industry has raised questions about diagnostics development regulations, consistency in reporting of results, and management of potential conflicts of interest. In this article, these topics are addressed from an industry perspective. While commercial laboratories may have the resources to develop and offer novel genetic tests, collaboration with healthcare providers is crucial for appropriate, effective, and efficient utilization of such tests.
