Beyond Diagnostic Yield: Clinical and Ethical Implications of Implementation of Genomic Technologies in Practice
This presentation will discuss a range of clinical and ethical implications of the implementation of genomic technologies in practice, beyond its demonstrated improvement of diagnostic yield.
Learning objectives:
- Identify clinical and ethical issues raised by genomic sequencing.
- Describe the concept of clinical utility and how it is used to assess genomic sequencing.
- Recognize the dual role of clinicians involved in genomic sequencing and its implications for patient care.
- Reflect on the implications of secondary findings in practice, in particular their actionability in children.
- Consider patient/parent expectations about genomic sequencing.
