DTC Testing

DTC (Direct-to-Consumer) testing refers to health or genetic tests that individuals can order and perform themselves, usually at home, without needing a healthcare provider’s order. These tests often analyze DNA, health markers, or disease risks, providing results directly to consumers via a website or app. They enable people to learn about their health or ancestry on their own schedule, promoting proactive health management. However, it's important to interpret results carefully and consult healthcare professionals for guidance, as the information may have limitations or require expert understanding.
