More people are getting diagnosed with autism, but the causes aren't clear. Genetic testing can provide answers for some people who are on the autism spectrum. Genetic testing for autism can uncover clues about developmental differences and support better, more personalized care.

Genetic testing for autism can help personalize care by identifying underlying variations and guiding targeted support.

Genetic testing for cancer is becoming more common Of the many advances in science and technology over the past 25 years, genetic testing is arguably one of the most notable. Once a rare part of health care, it is now becoming much more common. It’s possible that someone you know — or maybe even you — has had it done. Most often, people […]

Senate committee advances bill to cover genetic cancer testing for state plan enrollees after fiscal questions The committee approved amendments to SB1626 to provide evidence‑based genetic testing for cancer‑related genes to Tennessee state plan enrollees, eliminate out‑of‑pocket costs in the amendment as drafted, and moved the bill to the Finance Committee after the Department of Finance and Administration flagged a roughly $2.9 million fiscal impact for 100% state payment.

Tennessee's Senate committee just advanced a groundbreaking bill that could eliminate out-of-pocket costs for essential genetic cancer testing for state employees!

Alaska hearing spotlights licensure push for genetic counselors ahead of HB 293 Certified genetic counselors urged the House Labor and Commerce Committee to pass licensure they say would protect patients, enable counselors to order tests, and expand reimbursement; committee co-chairs scheduled Representative Fields’ HB 293 for a hearing next week.

Alaska's genetic counselors are fighting for licensure that could revolutionize patient safety and access to crucial genetic testing services.
