Summary
This report was commissioned by the National Health Committee to summarise international best practice and the New Zealand situation at the time of the investigation in relation to:

The validation of molecular genetic tests
Quality and accreditation issues associated with genetic testing laboratories
Issues relating to which practitioners should order which genetic tests
Issues of informed consent.

The report is not a comprehensive review of the literature but does identify key international models and gives an overview of the situation in NZ at that time.
