The "duty to warn" a patient's family members about hereditary disease risks.

JAMA - 22 Sept 2004

Offit Kenneth, Groeger Elizabeth, Turner Sam, Wadsworth Eve A, Weiser Mary A

Abstract excerpt

Genetic tests for adult-onset disorders, including common forms of cancer, are now commercially available, and tests for genetic polymorphisms that predict drug effects or toxicity after treatment are under development. For each of these circumstances, testing of 1 individual may imply an increased risk to his/her relative. The obligation, if any, to warn family members of the identification of a genetic mutation...
