Abstract: In 2010, NIH announced its plan to develop the Genetic Testing Registry (GTR), a centralized, online resource that will provide information about the availability and scientific basis of genetic tests. With an increasing number of genetic tests available, NIH recognized the importance of making information about these tests easily accessible to health care providers, researchers, patients, consumers, payers, and others. The overarching goal of the GTR is to advance the public health and research in the genetic basis of health and disease. As such, the Registry will have several key functions, including (1) encouraging providers of genetic tests to enhance transparency by publicly sharing information about the availability and utility of their tests; (2) providing an information resource for the public, including health care providers, patients, and researchers, to locate laboratories that offer particular tests; and (3) facilitating genetic and genomic data-sharing for research and new scientific discoveries. The GTR will be created, designed, and maintained by the NIH National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) with input from the stakeholder community and oversight by an NIH steering group. Respondents to the GTR are expected to include clinical laboratories, test manufacturers, researchers, and entities that report and interpret tests performed elsewhere. The GTR is not limited to U.S. respondents; it will also include submissions from outside the United States. Information will be collected and managed using an online submission system.
