Awareness, use, motivations and methods of accessing genetic testing in 2022 in the United States
Diffusion of genetic tests into US society, although incremental, has made sizable increases in awareness, equitable use of specific disease tests but worsening socioeconomic inequality in DTC genetic test use. The study provides update on the state of genetic testing in the US and identifies groups that may need help accessing clinical genomic information and services.
