Direct-to-consumer genetic testing is different than genetic testing that is done through healthcare providers: the tests are marketed directly to customers and the tests can be bought online or in stores. Customers send the company a DNA sample and receive their results directly from a secure website or in a written report. Direct-to-consumer genetic testing provides people access to their genetic information without necessarily involving a healthcare provider or health insurance company in the process.
Direct-to-consumer genetic testing has both benefits and limitations. Until very recently, the total number of people tested by consumer genetics companies globally grew rapidly, primarily driven by 23andMe and AncestryDNA. Recently, there have been a number of signs that the market has begun to slow down, as shown by recent activities and decisions by Illumina, Veritas Genetics, Helix, and 23andMe.
AMI’s 2020 Consumer Genetic Testing Providers report provides background on the consumer genetic testing market, benefits and limitations, market growth and recent signs of market slowdown. The report also identifies the providers of direct to consumer genetic tests and provides a brief profile of each company that includes: contact information, background, tests and pricing, partners, and recent activities.
