INFORMED CONSENT FOR NEXT-GENERATION SEQUENCING-BASED TESTING

Patient Name: ______DOB: ______MRN: ______

Clinical Diagnosis or Reason for Study: ______

Panel Test to Be Performed: ______

Your (or your child’s) healthcare provider has suggested genetic testing as part of a medical evaluation. This consent form is to give you information about the test. If you agree to have the test, you will be asked to sign at the end of this form to show that you understand the information. It is your choice to take part in the test. A copy of this consent will be given to you for your records.

Please place your initials in the blank next to each statement. This shows that you have read and understand the information, and have had your questions answered by the healthcare provider.

______I understand the following information about the reason for the test and how it is done:

A blood sample is being taken from me (or my child) to get DNA (genetic material). The DNA will be tested to find out if I (or my child) have a change (variant) in the DNA sequence that is related to the suspected genetic disorder listed above. The testing to be done uses a method called next-generation sequencing. This allows the laboratory to look at many genes all at the same time. The sequence data from the test include a large number of genes. However, the laboratory analysis and final report will be limited to the genes currently known to be associated with the suspected genetic disorder. You can get a list of the specific genes from your healthcare provider.

______I understand the following information about the test results:

The results of this test will be reported only to the following:  the healthcare provider who referred you  a professional such as another physician or a genetic counselor named by the referring provider

All results are confidential and will be reported to others only with your written consent, unless otherwise required by law.

This test may have different kinds of results, including:

 Negative (or “normal”)—No variant (or change) in the DNA was found within the limits of the testing. A negative result may not completely rule out a diagnosis or condition. More testing (if needed) may be suggested.  Pathogenic—A variant was found in my (or my child's) DNA that is known to cause a certain diagnosis or condition. The variant has been reported before and is well described.  Likely Pathogenic—A variant was found in my (or my child's) DNA that may be linked to a certain diagnosis or condition. The variant may not be well known, but many biological factors suggest that it may cause a certain disorder.  Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)—A variant was found in my (or my child's) DNA. It is not known whether it causes medical problems. Everyone's DNA is different. Every person has changes in his or her DNA; not all of these changes cause medical problems. Review of the variant, medical research, reports, and databases may suggest whether a variant is more likely to be disease-causing or not. Testing of the parents may be recommended to help to decide the significance. In some cases the significance remains unclear.

 Likely Benign—A variant was found in my (or my child's) DNA. The medical literature and electronic databases suggest that this may be a variant present in the general population and is not part of the suspected disorder.

 Benign—The variant(s) found in my (or my child's) DNA is found often in the general population. It does not cause specific conditions. Known, benign variants may not be listed on the laboratory report.

Genetic test results may impact family members. Based on the results, testing may be recommended to other family members.

The results of this genetic test may or may not impact my (or my child's) medical management. My (or my child's) healthcare provider’s recommendations for medical management may change according to the test findings.

______I understand the following information about the accuracy and limitations of testing:

Correct test results depend on  the way the test is done in the lab  the medical information that I give about myself (or my child)  the medical history of family members  biological relationships in my family

Errors in the medical information about me (my child) or family members may lead to wrong results. As with all complex testing, there is always a chance of error or test failure. Sometimes, the test will detect a change, called a variant, in one of the target genes. In other cases the test will not be able to identify a variant. This may be due to a true negative result, a current lack of knowledge of all genes involved in the disorder, or an inability of the current technology to identify certain types of variants in a gene. Finally, non-paternity may be found in some family-based studies. This result may be reported to the referring provider.

______I understand the following information about the use of specimens and data for research:

Additional Studies within Nationwide Children's Hospital

An unused part of my (or my child’s) DNA sample will be kept by the clinical laboratory and will be clearly identified. It may be made available for more testing as ordered by a healthcare provider. I will not consider this as a banking service. The laboratory will not be responsible for keeping the sample available in the future. The DNA sequence data will also be made available if a re-analysis is ordered by a healthcare provider. The DNA sample, clinical information, and associated DNA sequence data may also be kept in a database at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and used for test validation or for research (with privacy assured). No compensation will be given for any tests or products that result from research and development using these specimens. I may refuse to submit my (or my child’s) specimen for use in this way. I may withdraw consent for the storage of the sample and/or use of the data by calling the laboratory at 1-800-934-6575 and speaking with a genetic counselor. Refusal to consent to medical research will not affect my (or my child’s) results or medical care. Please show consent or denial below.

I give the following permission for research use of the unused portion of my (or my child’s) sample or the associated DNA sequence data (please choose ONE): [Please note: if no option is marked, the first option will apply and consent to research will be implied.]

 Can be used for research purposes including studies designed to investigate the cause of my (or my child’s) condition without removing the identifying information on the sample. Results, at the discretion of the laboratory, may be communicated through the referring healthcare provider.  Can be used for research purposes only after the identifying information is removed from the sample. I understand that I will not be given any results from the testing, because the sample will be anonymous.  Cannot be used for research purposes.

De-identified Public Data Sharing Clinical information and test results may be de-identified and recorded in a HIPAA-compliant public database. This is part of an effort to improve diagnostic testing and help us understand how genetic changes relate to clinical symptoms.

Patients may withdraw consent for additional data sharing by calling the laboratory at 1-800-934-6575 and speaking with a genetic counselor.

 I do not want my (or my child's) results included in the data-sharing efforts described above. (If the box is not checked, data will be used.

______I understand the following information about genetic discrimination:

There are federal laws in place that prevent health insurers and employers from discriminating based on genetic information [for example, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) of 2008 (Public Law 110-233). There are currently no federal laws that prohibit life insurance, long term care, or disability insurance companies from discriminating based on genetic information. States may have different laws in this area. You can get more information from the Genetics Public & Policy Center’s website (at www.dnapolicy.org).

The results of genetic testing are considered “Protected Health Information” (PHI) as described in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 (Public Law 104-191). Release of test results is limited to authorized personnel (such as the ordering healthcare provider) and to other parties as required by law.

______I understand the following information about my financial responsibility:

The estimated cost of testing, the billing process, and the option of insurance preauthorization have been explained to me by my healthcare provider. Some insurance companies/plans provide coverage for genetic testing and others do not.

Signature of Patient/Parent: I have read or have had read to me all of the above statements and understand the information about this genetic test. I have had the chance to ask questions I might have about the testing, the procedure, the risks, and the alternatives before my informed consent. I consent to take part (or have my child take part) in genetic testing for the above condition.

Information on Obtaining Insurance Coverage Determination and Prior Authorization It is strongly recommended that insurance prior authorization be obtained before a genetic test is ordered / before a patient sample is collected for a genetic test.

**Please note, even if the patient's insurance covers the test, the patient may still have to pay a co-insurance, co-pay or meet a deductible (if required by patient's insurance plan). Prior authorizaton is not a guarantee of payment. If an insurance company indicates that “Prior Authorization /Pre-determination Not Required,” this does not necessarily mean the testing is a covered benefit. Please also note thatsSome insurance plans do not cover genetic testing at all.

Steps to obtain insurance preauthorization: 1. Call the Customer Service number listed on the back of patient's insurance card. 2. Choose the option for "Prior Authorization" or to speak with a representative. 3. Inform the representative you are calling to determine whether genetic test is a covered benefit under the patient's insurance plan. 4. The insurance company will ask for the CPT code(s) and possibly the ICD code(s). This information is provided below. 5. If the insurance company requests a letter of medical necessity, then ordering healthcare provider is responsible for providing the letter to the insurance to obtain preauthorization. 6. Document whether or not the testing is approved and document the "Prior Authorization#" if testing is approved. If the test is denied, then the heatlhcare provider may request the insurance company for an appeals process.
