I recommended requesting further assessment because the situation presented insufficient information to make a definitive determination about genetic health risks at the border. When dealing with potential genetic conditions that could impact public health or individual wellbeing, a cautious approach is warranted to ensure accurate risk stratification. Further assessment by qualified genetic counselors would provide more comprehensive evaluation of any identified genetic markers, family history, and potential health implications. This approach balances border security concerns with ethical medical practice and ensures individuals receive appropriate guidance without making premature determinations based on incomplete data. Given the sensitive nature of genetic information and its implications for both the individual and public health, deferring to specialized expertise is the most responsible course of action.
