What is the future of genetic testing during pregnancy likely to look like? Given that the patterns of use of genetic testing in neonatology tend to precede, and thus predict, patterns of prenatal genetic testing in the future, we should expect the increasing use of broad, non-targeted test, such as whole exome sequencing and even genome sequencing, which in neonatology are becoming routine (NICUSeq Study Group et al. 2021).A detailed look at how genetic testing is currently functioning in clinical practice for neonates raises concerns about the framework proposed here by Bayefsky and Berkman (2022). We agree with the authors’ premise the increasing and unconstrained access to genetic information pose ethical challenges. We worry, though, that recommendations about which genetic tests physicians should offer will not resolve these issues. The authors’ framework for determining what testing physicians should recommend, offer, or not offer hinges on an assumption that we can predict what information will return from a genetic test and thus, in advance, we can decide which information we do and do not want to discover. Fundamental to the argument are two other assumptions, namely that we have the ability to gather only the genetic information that would be useful in pregnancy (for prenatal testing) or early in life (for neonatal testing) without uncovering other information, and that physicians have the ability to move reliably from genotype to phenotype, which is to say associate a particular genetic result with an expected outcome, including severity of disease, age of onset, and extent of developmental disability. There are firm reasons for doubting all three of these assumptions.
