Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and system for determining whether an ordered genetic test will duplicate at least one existing genetic test result. The method includes receiving an ordered genetic test that is for a particular genetic sequence or variant thereof for an individual. The method further includes determining whether the individual has at least one existing genetic test result for the particular genetic sequence or variant thereof. Upon determining that the individual has at least one existing genetic test result for the particular genetic sequence or variant thereof, a notification of the existence of the at least one existing genetic test result is provided.
