However, this rapid growth of knowledge brings developments that have impacted important principles of ethics, legal issues, and psychosocial concerns, which in turn have directly affected the clinical care of this high-risk population. This chapter will address topics that include the healthcare practitioners’ duty to recontact; legal clarity surrounding the obligation to warn at-risk family members; and the identification of vulnerable patient groups who could benefit from added support during this revolutionary era of medicine.
