N2 - A recent E-Rare workshop reviewed the ethical aspects of whole exome and whole genome-sequencing studies (WES and WGS, respectively) in rare diseases. Leveraging new genomic technologies, which output vast amounts of known and novel genetic variants, researchers are learning more about the genetic basis and mechanisms involved in rare diseases. In some cases, these findings are translated into diagnostic tools for the benefit of rare disease patients. Among the disclosed data, which can assist in treatment management, incidental findings await, bringing with them ethical concerns for the clinicians, researchers and patients.
