Center calls for stronger federal regulation of genetic testing
29th Nov 2005, 14:13 GMT
The Genetics and Public Policy Center this week called on Mark McClellan, Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to end years of delay in assuring the safety and accuracy of genetic testing by issuing a proposed rule to create a genetic testing specialty under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988. The delay has meant that scientific and technological advances in genetic testing have outpaced the government's ability to provide adequate oversight, maintains the Center.
