P563: Adolescents’ experiences and perspectives of genetic testing and its personal utility
As genetic testing becomes more widely used in adolescent medicine, the number of teenagers with identified genetic diagnoses continues to increase. These technologies may be particularly useful in children and adolescents since early diagnosis, risk identification and tailored intervention can result in lifelong benefits. The utility of a genetic test broadly refers to its value for patients, families, clinicians, healthcare systems and societies. Personal utility describes the value of a genetic test from the perspective of the patient.
