Key points:
- Genetic testing may seem relatively benign and non-invasive but is actually fraught with unforeseen issues such as surprise consanguinity and non-paternity.
- Racial and economic disparities are prevalent with genetic testing and their interpretation. For example most test value interpretations are based on people of European and Asian descent.
- We cannot easily predict outcomes and prognosticate even with genetic testing. Prognosis is often fraught with the issue of promoting "ableism".
