The results obtained from genomic tests provided directly to consumers cannot be integrated into Genomics England or NHS records since they do not always meet the standards required of the end-to-end testing and data handling process. Enabling tests that are provided directly to consumers to demonstrate that they meet the required standards could help to: reduce the likelihood of false positive or false negative results; facilitate the sharing of data obtained from direct-to- consumer tests, which could potentially support research efforts; and reduce the need for the NHS to re-test individuals following a commercially-obtained test, potentially reducing the burden placed on the NHS by direct-to-consumer tests. The Government should work with Genomics England and the NHS to define clear technical standards for direct-to-consumer genomic testing that, if met, would enable the genomic data generated by the test to be used and trusted by Genomics England Direct-to-consumer genomic testing 51 and the NHS. The Government should also establish a mechanism by which providers of direct-to-consumer genomic tests could validate that their tests met these standards.
