RESUMEN

Direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing is a controversial issue although Korean Government is considering to expand DTC genetic testing. Preventing the exaggeration and abusing of DTC genetic testing is an important task considering the early history of DTC genetic testing in Korea. And the DTC genetic testing performance or method has been rarely reported to the scientific and/or medical community and reliability of DTC genetic testing needs to be assessed. Law enforcement needs to improve these issues. Also principle of transparency needs to be applied.

RESUMEN

Recently, the Korean government introduced a regulatory sandbox that includes direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic tests. Several genetic testing companies received approval for predictive DTC genetic tests for conditions ranging from cancer to chronic diseases. However, it is not evident how DTC tests should be carried out and interpreted. It does not seem to estimate the accuracy of the predictive genetic testing from a two-year exemption trial. However, clinical laboratories can no longer explore innovative approaches to genetic testing because of the restrictive regulatory and legal environment. Genetic testing companies can provide DTC services without restrictions on facilities, equipment, and personnel although those testing services were not fully supported scientifically. Present situation in Korea on DTC genetic test should be reformed.
