What are the Limitations and Ethical Considerations?
While gene sequencing holds great promise, it is not without limitations and ethical concerns:
Cost: The high cost of sequencing can be a barrier for many patients. Privacy: Ensuring the confidentiality of genetic information is crucial to prevent discrimination. Interpretation: Not all genetic variants are well understood, which can complicate the interpretation of results. Psychological Impact: Knowledge of genetic risks can cause anxiety and stress for patients and their families.
