Original sentence: "  This potential use of genome sequencing is highly controversial, as it runs counter to established norms for predictive genetic testing of asymptomatic minors that have been well established in the field of genetic counseling.Full genome sequencing, however, potentially reveals a large amount of additional information (such as carrier status for recessive disorders, genetic risk factors for adult-onset diseases, and other predictive medical and non-medical information) that may or may not be useful during childhood.Parents also have the authority to obtain genetic screening to determine an etiology for their child's symptoms.Today, parents have the authority to obtain genetic screening for conditions, diseases, and traits that may affect their child
Edited sentence: "  This potential use of genome sequencing is highly controversial, as it runs counter to established ethical norms for predictive genetic testing of asymptomatic minors that have been well established in the fields of medical genetics and genetic counseling.Full genome sequencing, however, potentially reveals a large amount of additional information (such as carrier status for recessive disorders, genetic risk factors for adult-onset diseases, and other predictive medical and non-medical information) that is not currently useful during childhood and may not be wanted by the individual upon reaching adulthood.Parents also have the authority to obtain genetic testing to determine an etiology for their child's symptoms.Thus, the established ethical guidelines for predictive genetic testing of asymptomatic minors has more to do with protecting the individual's privacy and autonomy to know or not to know their genetic risk factors, than with the technology that makes this possible.Today, parents have the authority to obtain newborn screening for childhood diseases that can be prevented or better treated by early detection and intervention
