Excerpt

The commentary by Schilit and Schilit Nitenson in the current issue (Schilit and Schilit Nitenson 2016) offers important insights into the prospect of whole genome sequencing. The authors, monozygotic twins, describe their experience after one of them chose to pursue the test over the misgivings of the other. Although genetics professionals routinely discuss the family implications of genetic testing, the particular ethical and practical questions raised by testing a monozygotic twin have not been fully explored. In this case, the test was ordered by a primary care provider who failed to address the issue during pre-test counseling. …
