Conflict of interest statement

I, Niharika Jadeja, am a graduate student currently enrolled at Emory University, and am the first author of this manuscript. Emory University School of Medicine facilitated my involvement in this project by permitting me to undertake the international summer rotations. Additionally, 2 of the co-authors, Nadia Ali and Lauren Lichten, are faculty members affiliated with the Emory Genetic Counseling Training Program. During the rotations, my supervisors were Neeraja Reddy and Nivedita Rajakumar. Both genetic counselors are employed by private genetic testing companies, MapMyGenome and Neuberg Supratech. I affirm that these affiliations did not unduly influence this article. I am committed to addressing any inquiries or concerns related to these potential conflicts of interest and providing additional information if necessary.
