The Genetic Diagnostics Act (GenDG) has been in force in Germany since 1 February 2010. According to the GenDG, genetic tests require a detailed explanation to the patient as well as the written consent of the patient or their legal representative. In addition, the GenDG requires genetic counselling prior to prenatal and predictive genetic diagnostics.
We therefore ask for your understanding that it is no longer possible for us to fulfil your orders without a declaration of consent and explanation of the whereabouts of the remaining material.
In English:
According to the German Law (Gendiagnostikgesetz) genetic testing can only be performed with the patient's informed consent. Please use the form "Informed Consent to Perform Genetic Testing" to fulfil these requirements
For details on test material and dispatch, please refer to the "Request form for laboratory spec Haema Ulm.pdf". Due to regulatory requirements, we ask that you also send us a copy of the declaration of consent to carry out a test in accordance with the German Genetic Diagnostics Act (GenDG)(Einverständnis Labor Spez Haema Ulm.pdf). This also applies if only a biochemical analysis is requested. As a rule, these diagnostics also fall under the scope of the GenDG if a specific genetic disease (e.g. sickle cell disease) is diagnosed.
