Myriad Genetics announces hereditary cancer risk assessment study published

Myriad Genetics (MYGN) announced a study revealing that more patients completed hereditary cancer testing when they used an online screening tool and received education about genetic testing. The study was published in Obstetrics & Gynecology and was highlighted in the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Daily Bulletin. The study evaluated the change in genetic testing completion rate following the implementation of MyGeneHistory, a guideline-based online patient screening tool, and a virtual patient education program. It found that the online tool enabled identification of significantly more patients meeting guideline-based criteria for hereditary cancer testing, while the education program improved the patients’ understanding of genetic testing.
