Description
With advances in technology, the completion of the sequencing of the human genome and the pressures of capitalism, direct to consumer (DTC) laboratory testing is becoming increasingly popular. The growing market for DTC laboratory testing may promote awareness of health issues and genetic diseases, which could allow patients to take a more proactive role in their healthcare. The global DTC testing market is divided into two distinct areas of DTC testing:
- Routine clinical laboratory testing
- Medical genetic laboratory testing

The DTC Routine Clinical Testing Market
Routine testing is necessary in assisting medical professionals with diagnoses of disease, confirmation of a medical condition, or in preventive care. These tests are done on a regular basis and often have a fast turnaround. Common routine tests include: blood cell count; cholesterol levels; HIV tests; pregnancy tests, (HCG) lab-based; substance abuse tests, lab-based; and urinalysis (and other various) tests, lab-based.
