GeneTests, a current, comprehensive genetic testing resource
Tutorial and training materials by OpenHelix
| Learn to use GeneTests, an integrated resource designed to provide access to current genetic testing and other clinical genetics information. The GeneTests resource includes the Laboratory Directory database, an international directory that identifies the location of clinical laboratories offering genetic testing; and GeneReviews, a collection of up-to-date, comprehensive disease-specific overviews which include clinical descriptions, diagnosis, management, molecular genetics, current genetic testing, and genetic counseling. The goal of GeneTests is to provide a current, comprehensive genetic testing resource designed to integrate appropriate use of genetic testing into patient care. | Advertisement:

You'll learn:
- to perform disease-specific searches and navigate the GeneTests site
- to understand the GeneReviews and Laboratory Directory Displays
- to access additional searches to query the GeneReviews and Laboratory Directory databases by disease feature, gene and protein specific searches, and more
- to identify U.S. and international laboratories offering molecular genetic testing for specific disorders, use the Clinical Directory to locate genetics professionals and services, and investigate additional educational and other resources
