Availability is based on the best available information obtained using a range of sources, including the grey literature and interviews with experts (personal communications, Veronique Forest, Marius Van Den Berg, 10/20/20).30 However, this table is illustrative and thus may not include all relevant countries. Also, we could not assess the availability of whole genome (vs exome) independently but many countries have both tests available.
