Genetic Testing

Genetic Testing

The CDC Office of Public Health Genomics ranks the following list for levels of evidence of genomic tests and family health history in practice . This approach was based on a paper by Khoury and updated in accordance with criteria presented by a 2014 paper in Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics. The criteria are  shown in the following figure to provide additional information to our readers.This list is updated on an ongoing basis andprovided only for informational purposes to researchers, healthcare providers, public health programs and others.

Green

  • FDA label requires use of test to inform choice or dose of a drug
  • CMS covers testing
  • Clinical practice guidelines based on systematic review supports testing

Yellow

  • FDA label mentions biomarkers*
  • CMS coverage with evidence development
  • Clinical practice guideline, not based on systematic review, supports use of test
  • Clinical practice guideline finds insufficient evidence but does not discourage use of test
  • Systematic review, without clinical practice guideline, supports use of test
  • Systematic review finds insufficient evidence but does not discourage use of test
  • Clinical practice guideline recommends dosage adjustment, but does not address testing

Red

  • FDA label cautions against use
  • CMS decision against coverage
  • Clinical practice guideline recommends against use of test
  • Clinical practice guideline finds insufficient evidence and discourages use of test
  • Systematic review recommends against use
  • Systematic review finds insufficient evidence and discourages use
  • Evidence available only from published studies without systematic reviews, clinical practice guidelines, FDA label or CMS labels coverage decision

*Can be reassigned to Green of Red of one or more conditions in these categories apply

However, a systematic search for evidence-based recommendations and reviews has not been conducted to date by our office. We expect further refinements in this classification in the near future.
