Human genome sequencing has transformed our understanding of genomic variation and its relevance to health disease, is now starting enter clinical practice for the diagnosis rare diseases. The question whether how some categories findings should be shared with individual research participants currently a topic international debate, development robust analytical workflows identify communicate clinically relevant variants paramount.

Prelingual non-syndromic (isolated) deafness is the most frequent hereditary sensory defect. In >80% of cases, mode transmission autosomal recessive. To date, 14 loci have been identified for recessive forms (DFNB loci). For two them, DFNB1 and DFNB2, genes responsible characterized; they encode connexin 26 myosin VIIA, respectively. order to evaluate extent which gene ( Cx26 ) contributes prelingual deafness, we searched mutations in this 65 affected Caucasian families originating from...

Genome-wide sequencing in a research setting has the potential to reveal health-related information of personal or clinical utility for study participant. There is increasing pressure return findings participants that may not be related project aims, particularly when these could used prevent disease. Such secondary, unsolicited 'incidental findings' (IFs) discovered unintentionally interpreting sequence data, as result deliberate opportunistic screen. This cross-sectional, web-based survey...

This is the second in a series of four papers updating European Cystic Fibrosis Society (ECFS) standards for care people with CF. paper focuses on establishing and maintaining health. The guidance produced using an evidence-based framework wide stakeholder engagement, including from CF community. Authors provided narrative description their topic statements, which were more directive. These statements reviewed by Delphi exercise, achieving good levels agreement group all statements....

Analyzing genomic data across populations is central to understanding the role of genetic factors in health and disease. Successful sharing relies on public support, which requires attention whether people around world are willing donate their that then subsequently shared with others for research. However, studies such perceptions geographically limited do not enable comparison. This paper presents results from a very large survey attitudes toward sharing. Data 36,268 individuals 22...

Abstract Background Public trust is central to the collection of genomic and health data sustainability research. To merit trust, those involved in collecting sharing need demonstrate they are trustworthy. However, it unclear what measures most likely this.
