D.I.3 Ethical implications of unexpected results from next generation sequencing studies

Recent advances in next-generation sequencing technologies have brought a paradigm shift in how medical researchers investigate both rare and common human disorders. The ability cost-effectively to generate genome-wide sequencing data with deep coverage in a short time frame is replacing approaches that focus on specific regions for gene discovery and clinical testing. Exome sequencing, and soon whole genome sequencing, places many advantages of...
