چکیده

Data are lacking with regard to participants' perspectives on return of genetic research results to relatives, including after the participant's death.

Our findings indicate that most participants would feel obligated to share their results with blood relatives while alive and would want results to be shared with relatives after their death.

The development of a preference-setting model for the return of individual genomic research results.

Understanding participants' preferences for the return of individual research results (IRR) in genomic research may allow for the implementation of more beneficial result disclosure methods. We tested four preference-setting models through cognitive interviews of parents to explore how parents conceptualize the process of setting preferences and which disease characteristics they believe to be ...

Genomic research results and incidental findings with health implications for a research participant are of potential interest not only to the participant, but also to the participant's family. Yet investigators lack guidance on return of results to relatives, including after the participant's death. In this paper, a national working group offers consensus analysis and recommendations, includin...

How Geisinger made the case for an institutional duty to return genomic results to biobank participants

To return or not to return the results of genomics research: that has been the question at the crux of an ongoing debate spawned by the increasingly rapid evolution of genomics. Like many debates, this one arises from conflicting perspectives on broader concerns: for example, the purported distinction between research and patient care, the relationship between health care institutions and the c...
