Sažetak
Thanks to the completion of Human Genome Project, genetic testing is becoming more important and is clearly increasing in all European countries, as well as in Croatia. The end of 2000 has established Laboratory for clinical and molecular genetics, at Split University Hospital. During that period were performed over 1, 700 analysis, mostly tests in tumor tissue, molecular tests for leukemia and lymphoma, tests for risk factors, and recently tests for infectious diseases. It is evident the constant increase of the number of requests per test. Special attention is paid on current available accreditation standards used within Europe. Laboratory has just started the process of getting accreditation ISO 15 189 and participating in External Quality Assessment (EQA) schemes. It is very important for country with less developed system for genetic diagnosis to implement genetic tests for common diseases, referring clinicians, reduce the test costs, improve the quality of testing and apply ethical guidelines at all times.
