With over 175,000 genetic testing products ranging from single gene mutation tests and microarrays, to multi-gene, to whole exome and whole genome assays, the proliferation of tests has created a need for a common identification system to ease communications between ordering clinicians, laboratories, and coding for insurance claims. For accurate information exchange, it is important that all parties and the computer systems they use adopt the same standard when talking about specific genetic tests.
