Genetic Testing Children

The policy statement for genetic testing of children has been modified by the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) and the ACMG (American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics).  Though it is not drastically different than the past policy; it is nice to see an updated version which provides specific scenarios and the recommendation in each case.   In general, the policy states, “Decisions about whether to offer genetic testing and screening should be driven by the best interest of the child.” and “Genetic testing is best offered in the context of genetic counseling. Genetic counseling can be performed by clinical geneticists, genetic counselors, or any other health care provider with appropriate training and expertise.”

In addition, the policy provides specific recommendations in certain situations such as carrier testing, histocompatibility, adoption, disclosure, direct-to-consumer testing, newborn screening, etc.
