对儿童进行基因检测和基因筛查是司空见惯的。关于是否提供基因检测和筛查的决定应该以儿童的最佳利益为导向。关于这类检测和筛查的心理社会和临床影响的文献越来越多，这有助于为最佳做法提供信息。这份政策声明代表了美国儿科学会和美国医学遗传学和基因组学院就可能发生的基因检测和筛查的许多情况共同制定的建议。儿科2013；131：620-622
The genetic testing and genetic screening of children are commonplace. Decisions about whether to offer genetic testing and screening should be driven by the best interest of the child. The growing literature on the psychosocial and clinical effects of such testing and screening can help inform best practices. This policy statement represents recommendations developed collaboratively by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics with respect to many of the scenarios in which genetic testing and screening can occur.
