Advancements in genetic testing in the healthcare setting, most recently genomic sequencing, has enhanced our ability to diagnose genetic conditions. These advances include increased accessibility and affordability of genomic technologies. With expanded use comes the potential for significant ethical challenges for clinicians, particularly considering the implications of testing a child for one condition and incidentally finding a different condition or health risk. In this focused review, we address various ethical considerations from informed consent to the rights of a child undergoing genetic testing.

儿科患者基因组测序的伦理考虑

医疗环境中基因检测的进步，最近的基因组测序，增强了我们诊断遗传病症的能力。这些进步包括提高基因组技术的可及性和可负担性。随着使用范围的扩大，临床医生可能面临重大的伦理挑战，特别是考虑到对儿童进行一种病症测试并偶然发现另一种病症或健康风险的影响。在这篇重点综述中，我们讨论了从知情同意到接受基因检测的儿童的权利等各种伦理考虑。
