Genetic testing has been making headlines recently, but not just for the promise it holds for boosting health. Instead, regulatory issues in the state of California have been at the forefront of the news. State health officials recently sent letters to more than a dozen genetic testing firms, including Navigenics, asking each to stop providing services to customers.
At issue is whether genetic testing companies adhere to California’s clinical laboratory licensing laws. Here at Navigenics, we believe we do, and we will work diligently with both state and federal regulatory agencies to clarify any misunderstandings.
