Will better evidence on clinical utility bring about greater use of (genetic) tests?

Greater clarity on the nature of clinical utility is desirable. Of itself it may not bring about greater use of tests, including WGS (whole-genome sequencing), not least because clinical utility studies when performed may not confirm predicted changes in patient outcome. The notion that single “pivo...
