As a result of the recent progress in biotechnology, clinical-genetic services have been improved. The possibilities of genetic analyses have expanded, the underlying molecular etiology of some rare diseases has been revealed. Due to specificity of genetic analyses, the possibilities and limitations of the applied technologies and the specific genetic pathology, the necessity of pre- and post-test genetic counseling is widely discussed. Its aim is to help the patients and their families to understand and adapt to the medical and psychological effects of the disease. With the increasing popularity of genetic testing, the variety of offers is increasing, often bypassing the traditional healthcare systems. General practitioners, as well as all the other medical stuff in our country, will soon face the problem how to interpret and use the information received from direct-to-consumer genetic testing in the clinical practice.
