The potential for utilizing whole-genome sequencing in newborn screening (NBS) has been recognized, but the ethical, legal, and social issues of this may require further analysis. This article begins to address the gap in the literature concerning psychosocial effects of "genomic NBS," focusing on later effects of screening for genetic susceptibility to a single, complex disorder: type 1 diabetes (T1D). It also examines parental attitudes toward potential future expansions of NBS.
