For its many anticipated predictive benefits, early implementation of genomic sequencing (GS) in the care of critically ill children shows clinicians’ perceptions of the near-term utility of GS to be facilitating earlier declarations of futility, withdrawal of therapeutic interventions, and rationing of scarce resources (including organs for transplantation). These unanticipated uses of genomic sequencing are straining trust with families. How should such uses be discussed, and are genomic sequencing data robust enough to support these uses?
