Care to offer reference, as I don’t get the connection?
Sure.

There's two major baskets:

1. Paternity. Sometimes it's tragic when an otherwise good father learns he's not the father. The truth was very inconvenient to the established narrative.

2. Heritability of 'problem' genes in patients/families who request sequencing. You can't really tell a wealthy family that they're both MAOA2/4R carriers and explain what that means without ruffling a ton of feathers.
