In spite of the centrality of informed consent in clinical genetics and genomics, new recommendations from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) call for laboratories and clinicians to test for and report specific genetic incidental findings, even when the patient does not consent to the testing or disclosure and even when the patient is a child.
尽管知情同意在临床遗传学和基因组学中至关重要,但美国医学遗传学与基因组学学院(ACMG)的新建议要求实验室和临床医生检测和报告特定的遗传偶然发现,即使患者不同意检测或披露,甚至当患者是儿童时也是如此。
