Laboratory Testing Investigational Services

There are numerous commercially available genetic and molecular diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic tests for individuals with certain diseases or asymptomatic individuals with future risk. This review relates to genetic and molecular diagnostic tests not addressed in a separate review. If a separate evidence review exists, then conclusions reached there supersede conclusions here. The main criterion for inclusion in this review is the limited evidence on the clinical utility for the test. As these tests do not have clinical utility, the evidence is insufficient to determine that the technology results in an improvement in the net health outcome.
