If you need to order a genetic test, or (it could happen) if a patient hands you the result of such a test, would you know how to interpret the results? In this interview, Wendy Rubinstein, MD, director of the National Institutes of Health's new Genetic Testing Registry, tells why you need this online resource about genetic testing and related topics, and what's in the database for your reference.

After you listen, please consider taking the poll below. The NIH wants your opinion.

Dr Rubinstein is an internist and medical geneticist.

1. Why do primary care doctors need a genetic testing registry?
