The biobank is returning some genetic results to participants.
Overview
The biobank is returning some genetic results to participants who have had a blood sample drawn and processed, and who have consented to have their results returned.
These are clinical genetic test results from the CLIA certified and CAP accredited biobank laboratory. Unlike some genetic test results, these results may be used in clinical decision making and do not need to be confirmed through repeat testing.
There are three types of clinical genetic test results that the biobank may return.
Disease Risk
Results that may predict risk of diseases including some types of cancer, heart disease, muscle disease and other diseases.
Pharmacogenetics
Results that may predict response to certain medicines.
Other Results
Results that may predict risk of developing certain diseases or conditions.
