This document discusses the use of consumer genetic testing to help reunite immigrant children separated from their parents at the US-Mexico border. It summarizes previous research on consumer understanding and consent for genetic testing. The research found that most adult consumers in the US have low genetic literacy and only skim or do not read consent agreements. They incorrectly believe their genetic data is safely shared and feel they own their data despite contracts stating otherwise. The document concludes that separated minors likely lack sufficient genetic literacy to provide informed consent and testing them solely for reunification purposes could coerce participation without true understanding of implications.
