Am I My Family's Keeper? Disclosure Dilemmas in Next-Generation Sequencing

20 Sept 2016

Abstract excerpt

Ever since genetic testing is possible for specific mutations, ethical debate has sparked on the question of whether professionals have a duty to warn not only patients but also their relatives that might be at risk for hereditary diseases. As next-generation sequencing (NGS) swiftly finds its way into clinical practice, the question who is responsible for conveying unsolicited findings to family members becomes...
