note = "Funding Information: Similarly, early studies did not find significant emotional impacts from personal genomic information [15] . However, again, these were not based on WGS, and there is far greater potential for WGS to produce unanticipated results that may be valued by one individual, but completely devastating to another. The potential for emotional harm from WGS should not be underestimated {\textendash} nor should it be overstated. One trial funded by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), the MedSeq Project ( http://www.genomes2people.org/the-medseq-project ) is beginning to explore these issues. More evidence from randomized trials with larger samples of diverse populations is needed before conclusions about behavioral and emotional effects of WGS on healthy individuals can be drawn. ",
