Genetic Testing Reference Materials Coordination Program (GeT-RM)

The goal of the Genetic Testing Reference Materials Coordination Program (GeT-RM) is to coordinate a self-sustaining community process to improve the availability of appropriate and characterized reference materials for:

• Quality control (QC)
• Proficiency testing (PT)
• Test development & validation
• Research

The purpose of this program is:

• To help the genetic testing community obtain appropriate and characterized reference materials
• To facilitate and coordinate information exchange between users and providers of QC and reference materials
• To coordinate efforts for contribution, development, characterization and distribution of reference materials for genetic testing

Reference Materials Characterized by GeT-RM:

• Reference Materials for Hereditary Genetic Disorders and HLA Testing
• Reference Materials for Pharmacogenetics
• Links to other sources of reference materials and guidance documentsexternal icon
