Substantial involvement of the private sector has led to unprecedented growth in commercial genetic testing services and in the trade of such services. This trend is expected to increase as knowledge gained from the mapping of the human genome and of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is applied to the identification of disease-causing genes and of inherited differences in drug response. The potential socio-economic impacts are staggering. Drawing from the OECD workshop 'Genetic Testing: Policy Issues for the New Millennium', held in Vienna on 23-25 February 2000, this special issue provides the reader with a state-of-the-art review of advances in genetic testing and the main international policy concerns. It is highly recommended to medical geneticists and genetic counselors, and is indispensable for genetic policy makers, agencies governing the distribution of funds.
