Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Decisions about genetic testing are shaped by socioeconomic status and the ability to pay for the testing.Some types of genetic testing are expensive and are not covered by insurance benefits.Anxiety and altered family relationships are often the result of genetic testing;however,they are not the primary risk.False-negative results are more likely to affect an individual or family because they will fail to seek necessary follow-up.Caucasian middle-class families have greater access to genetic screening,so this is less of a risk for this population.
