The Spillover of Genomic Testing Results in Families: Same Variant, Different Logics.

Journal of health and social behavior - 1 Jun 2017

Timmermans Stefan, Stivers Tanya

Abstract excerpt

Due to heritability, next-generation genetic tests have the potential to affect family members beyond the patient being tested. Geneticists and genetic counselors, in dialogue with patients and their relatives, will need to establish for whom and in what way genomic testing results matter during the communication of testing results, indicating the spillover of presumed pathological variants. On the basis of...
