Abstract excerpt
The increasing integration of genomic medicine into routine medical care brings to light issues of complexity and uncertainty in the interpretation of genetic variation.We describe a fictional case study based on our experiences in the haematological malignancy setting to illustrate the complexities in using genomic testing to evaluate the suitability of relatives to act as stem cell donors. In particular, we...
