Work in Progress: Classifying Evidence-based Genomic Applications for Practice and Prevention

applications by evidence tiers with 68 tier 1, 107 tier 2 and 7 tier 3

In our 2015 paper,“Prioritizing genomic applications for action by level of evidence: A horizon-scanning method,” we proposed a systematic scanning method that assigns genomic applications to “tiers” defined by availability of synthesized evidence. Because of the amassed evidence on the validity and utility of genomic tests and related technologies, we suggested that researchers, policy makers, Read More >
