We would generally advise against such testing, unless there are clear cut and unusual arguments in favour. This does not...

Guidelines for genetic testing of healthy children.

Recent international efforts to sequence the human genome have greatly enhanced our ability to test definitively for many genetic conditions. For many, this has been welcome, allowing the diagnosis of disorders that have been previously only suspected. This has also led to the advent of the ‘unpatient’ [1], where there is an increasing ability to test healthy individuals for genetic conditions ...
