These guidelines focus on when to recommend testing, how to interpret results, and how to communicate findings to patients. They also emphasize the importance of informed consent, meaning that individuals understand the potential benefits and risks before undergoing testing. Additionally, guidelines aim to protect patient privacy and ensure that genetic information is used ethically. Overall, these guidelines help healthcare providers offer reliable genetic testing services while supporting patient understanding and informed decision-making.
