About

The workshop examined the perceived value of genetic and genomic technologies, both present and future, in clinical practice from different stakeholder perspectives. Speakers at the workshop were asked to build on the concepts of clinical utility, personal utility, public utility, clinical validity, and economic value, and explore these different types of value through an examination of three case examples: 1) the correlation of Lynch syndrome to colon cancer; 2) pharmacogenomic testing for Warfarin dosing; and 3) genomic profiling. Presentations and discussions explored the concept of value in regards to genomics and genetics, how it affects the view of stakeholders and the way they make decisions about using these technologies, and delve into questions such as:

How do different stakeholders define the value of genetic and genomic technologies?
How do stakeholders evaluate the weight of one kind of value in relation to another?
How do people assess relative values to make health care decisions?
How do these types of value relate, or not relate, to the monetary cost of the technologies?
