    Area of Science:

    • Medical Genetics
    • Psychological Research

    Context:

    • Advancements in genome sequencing facilitate genetic disease diagnosis.
    • High-throughput sequencing can uncover unsolicited genetic findings.
    • These findings present ethical, legal, and psychological challenges.

    Purpose:

    • To explore patient, healthcare professional, and public views on disclosing unsolicited findings from genetic tests.
    • To understand the psychological impact of receiving unexpected genetic information.

    Summary:

    • Exploratory interviews and quantitative surveys identified six distinct approaches to disclosing unsolicited findings.
    • Participant views varied significantly, influenced by factors like patient consent.
    • Key disclosure policies ranged from 'Tell everything' to 'Do not tell if no prevention.'

    Impact:

    • Highlights the critical role of informed consent in managing unsolicited genetic findings.
    • Reveals diverse perspectives on genetic information disclosure.
    • Suggests the need for longitudinal studies to understand evolving patient acceptance over time.
