Pink or blue? The need for regulation is black and white

Gail H Javitt. Fertil Steril. 2006 Jul.

Abstract

A new direct-to-consumer genetic test purports to detect fetal gender as early as five weeks of pregnancy. The availability of this test highlights the consequences of the current system of oversight for genetic tests and underscores the need for an enhanced regulatory framework to ensure the accuracy, reliability, and validity of genetic tests.
