GROUPS BACK REGULATION OF GENETIC TESTS

Stronger regulations should be implemented for genetic testing, a consortium of groups argued Tuesday. The Genetics and Public Policy Center, Public Citizen"s Health Research Group, and the Genetic Alliance released a "Petition for Rulemaking" outlining their demands for more genetic testing regulation in order to reduce the amount of consumers who receive inaccurate test results. Their petition is addressed to Mark McClellan, the outgoing administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). UPI (http://license.icopyright.net/user/viewFreeUse.act?fuid=MTYwNjI2)
