Development and description of GETT: a Genetic testing Evidence Tracking Tool
Background: The completion of the Human Genome Project has increased the pace of discovery of genetic markers for disease. Despite tremendous efforts in fundamental research, clinical applications still lag behind expectations, partly due to the lack of effective tools to systematically search for and summarize published data relative to the clinical assessment of new diagnostic molecular tests. Methods: Through a collaborative process using published tools and an expert panel, we developed a detailed checklist of the evidence that needs to be collected or produced to evaluate the potential usefulness of a new molecular diagnostic test. This tool is called GETT, for Genetic testing Evidence Tracking Tool.
