Psychological and behavioural impact of returning personal results from whole-genome sequencing

The journal European Journal of Human Genetics has published an article about the impact of returning personal results from whole-genome sequencing. Providing ostensibly healthy individuals with personal results from whole-genome sequencing could lead to improved health and well-being via enhanced disease risk prediction, prevention, and diagnosis, but also poses practical and ethical challenges. Understanding how individuals react psychologically and behaviourally will be key in assessing the potential utility of personal whole-genome sequencing. The full-text article you can find here.
