Genetic Testing Safety

Meaning

Genetic Testing Safety encompasses the comprehensive set of protocols and ethical considerations designed to ensure the physical, informational, and psychological well-being of individuals undergoing genetic analysis. Physical safety involves the minimal risk associated with sample collection, such as a buccal swab or blood draw. Informational safety is paramount, requiring strict adherence to data privacy regulations to protect sensitive genetic data from unauthorized access or misuse. This safety framework is crucial for building patient trust in personalized medicine and hormonal health protocols.
