DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

HUMAN SERVICES

Secretary’s Advisory Committee on

Genetic Testing

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DHHS.

ACTION: Request for public comment on

a proposed template of genetic test

information for use by health

professionals.

SUMMARY: The Secretary’s Advisory

Committee on Genetic Testing (SACGT)

was chartered to advise the Department

of Health and Human Services on the

medical, scientific, ethical, legal, and

social issues raised by the development

and use of genetic tests. SACGT recently

completed its first report, Enhancing the

Oversight of Genetic Tests (available at

http://www4.od.nih.gov/oba/sacgt.htm).

SACGT stated in the report’s

overarching principles that genetics

education of health professionals and

the public about the appropriate use,

interpretation, and understanding of

genetic test results is critical to the

successful implementation of genetic

testing into health care.

To inform and educate health

professionals on genetic testing and

their appropriate uses, SACGT is

developing a template of essential

information elements about genetic

tests. A SACGT working group,

composed of SACGT members and ad

hoc experts, identified seven key data

elements about a genetic test that may

be valuable to health professionals

considering using a genetic test for

patient care. At its November 2–3, 2000

meeting, SACGT reviewed the proposed

genetic test information template and

recommended public comment be

solicited. After consideration of public

comments, SACGT’s final draft of the

template will be submitted to the

Assistant Secretary of Health for

transmittal to the Secretary of Health

and Human Services.

DATES: The public is encouraged to

provide written comments on the

proposed genetic test information

template by January 31, 2001. The

following mailing address should be

used: SACGT, National Institutes of

Health, 9000 Rockville Pike, Building 1,

Room 103, Bethesda, Maryland, 20892.

SACGT’s facsimile number is 301–496–

9839. Comments can also be sent via email to hagas@od.nih.gov. All public

comments received will be available for

public inspection at the SACGT office

between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5:00

p.m.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: Questions

about this request for public comment

can be directed to Dr. Susanne Haga, by

e-mail (hagas@od.nih.gov.) or telephone

(301–496–9838). The proposed template

will also be posted on SACGT’s website

for review and comment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Decades of

genetics research have brought about

many important medical and public

health advances. The pace of discovery
