This study provides preliminary data on the process and content of returning results from exome sequencing offered to children through one of the Clinical Sequencing Exploratory Research (CSER) projects.
MATERIALS & METHODS: We recorded 25 sessions where providers returned diagnostic and secondary sequencing results to families. Data interpretation utilized inductive thematic analysis.
Typically, providers followed a results report and discussed diagnostic findings using technical genomic and sequencing concepts. We identified four provider processes for returning results: teaching genetic concepts; assessing family response; personalizing findings; and strengthening patient-provider relationships.
Sessions should reflect family interest in medical management and next steps, and minimize detailed genomic concepts. As the scope and complexity of sequencing increase, the traditional information-laden counseling model requires revision.
本研究提供了关于通过临床测序探索性研究(CSER)项目之一向儿童提供外显子组测序结果返回过程和内容的初步数据。
我们记录了25次医疗服务提供者向家庭返回诊断和二次测序结果的过程。数据解读采用归纳主题分析法。
通常,医疗服务提供者遵循结果报告,并使用技术基因组学和测序概念讨论诊断结果。我们确定了医疗服务提供者返回结果的四个过程:传授遗传概念;评估家庭反应;个性化结果;以及加强医患关系。
会议应反映家庭对医疗管理和后续步骤的兴趣,并尽量减少详细的基因组概念。随着测序范围和复杂性的增加,传统的信息丰富的咨询模式需要修订。
