Impact of genomic sequencing information on physicians’ treatment recommendations for children with congenital heart disease
This survey demonstrates that physicians caring for critically ill children with CHD might be influenced by genomic results when making recommendations about whether to forego or withdraw certain treatment options. This raises important ethical issues that should be considered carefully in the future.
