Cover Story: Ultra-rapid genomic sequencing is increasingly being used in neonatal and pediatric intensive care settings, demonstrating high diagnostic and clinical utility. Arkell and colleagues conducted focus groups with 19 healthcare professionals (including clinical geneticists, genetic counselors, and intensivists) to explore their experiences with ultra-rapid genomic sequencing, particularly when making treatment decisions. They identified that healthcare professionals find it challenging to set realistic expectations with families regarding the outcomes of ultra-rapid genomic sequencing. These healthcare professionals reported modifying pre-test counseling to include life-limiting diagnoses as a possible test outcome. Healthcare professionals explained that moral distress arose when families and healthcare professionals’ treatment goals were misaligned after a diagnosis was received. View this paper
