Genetic Testing Reference Materials Coordination Program (GeT-RM) - Home
spacer
spacer
GeT-RM Logo 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

Program name change GTQC --> GeT-RM:

We changed the name of our program from the Genetic Testing Quality Control Materials Program (GTQC) to the Genetic Testing Reference Material Coordination Program (GeT-RM) for three reasons:
  • To clarify that these materials have not been FDA cleared or approved
  • To harmonize with the efforts of other countries
  • To reflect the fact that these materials can be used for purposes other than quality control
The Get-RM Reference Material Inventory Development Process
