Clinical Genetic Testing in Non–Columbia Labs

Implementation of the new 2008 CU policy for obtaining informed consent for clinical genetic testing in CU laboratories is going well. Subsequently, several faculty have inquired about the process for clinical genetic testing at non-C.U. laboratories – commercial or academic, where outside consent forms are not necessarily compliant with NY State law.

We offer the following guidance to clinicians:
  • You can supplement the consent form used for genetic testing at non-CU laboratory(ies) by using the attached form. Copies of signed forms are to be maintained in the patient’s hospital record.
  • If you are not sure if non-C.U. consent forms are compliant with NY regulations, please forward forms to Jane Booth in Columbia’s General Counsel office for review: jeb@gc.columbia.edu or 212 854-0286.
