Research
can take a long time; therefore, we cannot guarantee that we will find
information in your sample to return to you. As more samples are
processed and genotyping is completed, the biobank may find information
that is medically important for some participants.
If we learn
something about your sample, we may be able to return this information
if you have consented to have results returned. If you signed a biobank
consent form before October 2019, you have not
consented to get results from the biobank, and you must update your
consent form if you wish to have results returned. We have re-contacted participants through My Health Connection to
invite them to update their consent. If you signed a biobank consent
form on or after October 1, 2019, you have already
given us permission to share medically relevant information with you.
However, not everyone will have this information, so we cannot guarantee
that you will have results returned.
