Personal Utility of Whole Genome Sequencing for Adults with Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (2023)
Allison Wheeler, a LEND AMTT and rising genetic counselor, discusses the benefits of genetic testing for adults with neurodevelopmental disabilities (NDDs). She explores what kinds of impacts genetic testing can have on a person's health or on their personal (non-health) experiences. Allison compares people with and without NDDs who participated in a study that used a broad genetic test to see if there was a difference in the personal impacts of this test between these groups.
