Returning Individual Research Results to Participants: Guidance for a New Research Paradigm Summary1 Biospecimens from research participants are an essential resource for a broad range of studies, from exploratory, basic science inquiries to clinical trials using well-validated tests. These types of research have been enormously valuable in advancing knowledge about almost every aspect of human health and disease. The conduct of research with human volunteers is dependent on a collaborative, productive relationship between participants who give their time and samples and the investigators and research teams that conduct the research.

Huntington1,2 Abstract The perceived benefit of return of individual research results (IRRs) in accordance to participants’ preferences in genomic biobank research is unclear. We developed an online preference-setting tool for return of IRRs based on the preventability and severity of a condition, which included an opt-out option for IRRs for mental illness, developmental disorders, childhood- onset degenerative conditions, and adult-onset conditions. Parents of patients <18 years of age at Boston Children’s Hospital were randomized to the hypothetical scenario that their child was enrolled in one of four biobanks with different policies for IRRs to receive (a) “None,” (b) “All,” (c) “Binary”—choice to receive all or none, and (d) “Granular”—use the preference-setting tool to choose categories of IRRs. Parents were given a hypothetical IRRs report for their child. The survey was sent to 11,391 parents and completed by 2,718. The Granular group was the most satisfied with the process, biobank, and hypothetical IRRs received.

Objective: To identify and capture methods and qualitative PRO themes among studies reporting PROs following genetic testing for FH, breast and ovarian cancer syndrome, and Lynch syndrome. Methods: A systematic review was conducted via PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Yale University’s TRIP Medical Databases on articles published by April 2021. Results: We identified 24 studies published between 1996 and 2021 representing 4279 participants that reported PROs following genetic testing for FH, breast and ovarian cancer syndrome, and Lynch syndrome.

  • Suggested Policy Points-To-Consider on the Return of Epigenetic
    Suggested Policy Points-to-Consider on the Return of Epigenetic Research Results The vast majority of current IHEC projects are fundamental epigenome mapping studies that are unlikely to reveal clinically valid and actionable health information that might be of interest to research participants, and in which the identities of participants have been irrevocably removed from research datasets, thus precluding recontact of participants. However, as epigenetics continues to progress and leads to insights into health and disease, the return of individual epigenetic research results to research participants will be of growing importance. This Points-to-Consider document therefore aims to provide forward- looking general guidance, based on the findings of the International Human Epigenome Consortium (IHEC) Bioethics Workgroup Subgroup on the return of results in epigenomic research (“The Subgroup”). Incidental findings, as well as individual findings directly related to the topic of research, may arise during the course of a research project; these Points-to-Consider apply to both types of findings (referred to here as research results), but only if they are epigenetic findings. In particular, epigenetic disease-linked data may have germline or somatic genetic sequence or variation as its source and, in this case, researchers should refer to guidance on the return of results in genomics for such results.1 The Subgroup recognizes that cultural, ethical and legal considerations on the return of research results vary between countries and geographic regions. In consideration of this variance, the Points-to-Consider outlined below should be considered as non-binding guidelines provided to assist projects in establishing their own policies on the return of research results to adult research participants.
