Core Tip |
Mainstreaming has allowed for improved and readily available access to next generation sequencing testing in some regions of the world by allowing oncologists to order genetic testing. Pitfalls encountered with mainstreaming include adequate patient counseling on unanticipated genetic results as well as follow-up of variants of unknown significance (VUS) which have implications for tested individuals and family members. Genetic registries following VUS may provide a formal avenue for patients to receive adequate follow-up and counseling if VUS are later identified as malignant. A “layered consent model” as well as system of categorizing genes of interest may help in preserving patient autonomy and upholding the medical ethical tenets of justice and non-maleficence. |
