Personalized Medicine 2017 September
A variety of health-related genetic testing is currently advertized directly to consumers.

DTC GT companies currently employ new testing approaches, report on a wide spectrum of conditions and target new groups of consumers.

The recently adopted regulation on in vitro diagnostic medical devices may limit the offers of predisposition DTC GT in the EU market.
