A study of elective genome sequencing and pharmacogenetic testing in an unselected population
Genome sequencing (GS) of individuals without a medical indication is referred to as elective GS. Among 52 individuals undergoing elective GS, 11.5% (6/52) had pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants that may explain one or more aspects of their medical history, 19% (10/52) had variants that altered the risk of disease in the future, including two ...
