Identification of persons at risk for hereditary syndromes through genetic testing prior to cancer diagnosis may proactively reduce the cancer burden morbidity and mortality. Using a framework of health equity, this study characterizes the global landscape of publication and reference to genetic testing guidelines (GTG). This study used a systematic literature search supplemented by an International Gynecologic Cancer Society (IGCS) informal survey and cross referenced with Myriad Genetics records, to identify published GTG, their country of origin, and countries referencing them. Of 1011 identified publications, 166 met the inclusion criteria, from which 46 unique guidelines were identified, published by 18 countries and two regions (Europe and the UK). Authorship from the USA accounted for 63% of publications on GTG. Systematic mapping reviews revealed 34 countries with published and/or referenced guidelines, the IGCS survey revealed 22 additional countries, and coordination with Myriad Genetics revealed additional information for two countries and primary information for one country. Of the 57 countries evaluated, 33% published their own guidelines and reference guidelines from another country/region, 5% published their own guidelines without referencing another country/region, and 61% only referenced a guideline from another country/region. No data were available for 138 of 195 countries, disproportionately from Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and Southeast Asia. Global geographic disparities in the publication and referencing of GTG exist, with a large emphasis on North American and European guidelines in the published literature. These disparities highlight a need for uniform GTG to improve global health equity.
