Abstract:
Aim: Teaching of genetics and pharmacogenetics with personal genotyping (PGT) is becoming commonplace. We aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to understand the effects of PGT on student outcomes. Methods: A systematic review was performed on studies that reported the effects of PGT on student attitudes, perceptions or knowledge. Extracted data were summarized qualitatively and when possible, quantitatively. Results: Student PGT has a positive effect on student attitude and perceptions survey responses in studies without a control group (p = 0.009) and in studies with a control group (p = 0.025). Knowledge increased after the use of PGT (p < 0.001) in studies without a control group. Conclusion: The findings here suggest that perceptions, attitudes and knowledge increase with PGT in the classroom.
