Incidental Findings: The Importance of Pretest Counseling
Researchers at the University of Bourgogne in Dijon, France surveyed French geneticists who were members of the "Association Français des Généticiens" on incidental findings (IF) found on array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) technology retrospectively over a seven-year period.
متن کاملIncidental Findings with Genomic Testing: Implications for Genetic Counseling Practice
This paper summarizes the current controversies surrounding the identification and disclosure of "incidental" or "secondary" findings from genomic sequencing and the implications for genetic counseling practice. The rapid expansion of clinical sequencing has influenced the ascertainment and return of incidental findings, while empiric data to inform best practices are still being generated. Usi...
متن کاملCounseling Challenges with Variants of Uncertain Significance and Incidental Findings in Prenatal Genetic Screening and Diagnosis
Prenatal genetic screening and testing provides prospective parents information about the health of their fetus. It is offered to find or address an increased risk for chromosomal abnormalities or other genetic conditions in the fetus or to identify the cause of fetal structural abnormalities detected by prenatal imaging. Genome-wide tests, such as the already widely-used chromosomal microarray...
متن کاملRe: "managing incidental findings on abdominal CT: White Paper of the ACR Incidental Findings Committee".
As multidetector CT has come to play a more central role in medical care and as CT image quality has improved, there has been an increase in the frequency of detecting "incidental findings," defined as findings that are unrelated to the clinical indication for the imaging examination performed. These "incidentalomas," as they are also called, often confound physicians and patients with how to m...
متن کاملGenomic research and incidental findings.
The Human Genome Project showed that there is significant genetic variation within the population. Current research is accumulating large databases that may reveal genetic variations associated with disease or health risks, even if not intended as part of the study design. These incidental findings create legal, ethical, and financial challenges for researchers. Current federal and internationa...
