Authors' objectives:
"The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requested the Tufts-New England Medical Center Evidence-based Practice Center (Tufts-NEMC EPC) to conduct a horizon scan on the use of genetic tests for non-cancer diseases/conditions. CMS would like the report to be a ready reference for their discussions in this area. This report aims to provide a broad review with sufficient information on each test, and to estimate the amount of potential literature available on each test. This report is not meant to be an in-depth review to assess the analytic validity, clinical validity, clinical utility, and ethical issues of each test. In-depth reviews of a test or group of tests would be the subject of future focused reviews."
