We aimed to understand consent practices for pharmacogenetic (PGx) testing.
We conducted a literature review and analysis of consent forms from clinical laboratories offering PGx testing.
Our review of the literature shows a lack of consensus about the need for and type of informed consent for PGx testing. We identified 35 companies offering PGx testing and were able to confirm consent practices for 22 of those. We found a range of variability in the consent practices regarding the consent approach and information disclosed.
Variability in the consent practices among laboratories offering PGx testing mirrors the ambiguous practices and recommendations reported in the literature. Establishing a minimal set of information to be disclosed to patients may help address the disparities in consent practice.
我们旨在了解药物遗传学(PGx)检测的知情同意实践情况。
我们对提供PGx检测的临床实验室的知情同意书进行了文献综述和分析。
我们的文献综述表明,对于PGx检测的知情同意的必要性和类型缺乏共识。我们确定了35家提供PGx检测的公司,其中22家的知情同意实践得以确认。我们发现,在同意方式和披露信息方面,知情同意实践存在一系列差异。
提供PGx检测的实验室之间知情同意实践的差异反映了文献中报道的模糊做法和建议。确定向患者披露的最少信息集可能有助于解决知情同意实践中的差异。
