Genomic pathway managers: a novel role in the genomic medicine care pathway in France-overview and perspectives.
France is creating a new type of healthcare worker called a Genomic Pathway Manager to help doctors order genetic tests for patients with rare diseases and cancer. These managers will make it easier for patients to get genetic testing by organizing the process and helping doctors understand when and how to use these tests. The goal is to make genetic testing available to more people across France starting in 2025.
WHY IT MATTERSIf you have a rare disease in France, this new system could help your doctor identify your condition faster through genetic testing, potentially leading to earlier diagnosis and treatment options.
