Genetic Testing Registry (GTR) Search Improvements

We are excited to announce an improved search and navigation experience in the NIH Genetic Testing Registry (GTR) so you can find the tests you need in a more intuitive and powerful way. Try searching GTR on our new  

What’s new? 

1. One search box for single or multiple terms

On the GTR homepage, there is now one search box where you can enter one or more terms like genes, diseases, and lab names. Start entering a term and select from the autosuggest menu, then enter another term. When you finish entering your query, hit the search button to see the results! On the GTR homepage, there is a separate search box for GeneReviews.  

2. Simplified search logic  

No matter how you enter your query (genes, diseases, labs, etc.), you will get a list of tests with the data you asked for. An example of a search results page is below.    

Features of the search results page include:

A. Summary information: A summary section at the top of the page includes pertinent information tailored to your search term. If you are looking for gene, disease, or lab information, this box will provide summary information and links to related pages with more information. 

B. Improved filters: You can now filter your search results by gene, disease, labs, and more!  

C. List of labs: In your search results page, you can click the “See all labs” link to scan the list of labs that offer tests that match your search criteria, including how many tests they offer that match your search. 

D. Download tests: From your search results, you can now download data for all tests or a subset of tests.  

E. More powerful “Advanced search”: You can now search “All fields,” search by CPT code, and change Bolean logic.
