Parents’ Reported Likelihood of Sharing Actionable Vs. Non- Actionable Genetic Results Carrie A. Weaver, MA Melanie Myers, PhD, MS, LGC Matt Veerkamp, BA And Cynthia A. Prows, MSN, CNS, FAAN
Arguments against Returning Research Results 1. Rests on a mistaken interpretation of autonomy – Decision lies in informed consent 2. Poses an unsustainable burden on research infrastructure – Money, time 3. Harmful consequences – Psychological, physical [1, 4, 6]
Arguments for Returning Research Results 1. Beneficence – Increase physical, psychological well being 2. Autonomy – Choice to be given results 3. Reciprocity – Results as compensation 4. Disclosure improves public understanding of genetics [1, 4, 6]
Present Study • Sample: 117 parents of children with extra biological samples for future research stored at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital – Case: participant’s child exposed to opioids • (n= 55, 47.01%) – Control: participant’s child without previous exposure to opioids • (n= 62, 52.99%) – Samples genotyped for CYP2D6 to determine predisposition for codeine response. Results given to parents over the phone
Methods • Return of eMERGE research results survey – Adapted from Haga et al. (2012) • Similarities : – telephone interviews concerning genomic results • Differences : – hypothetical testing vs. actual pharmacogenetic testing and returning of results – Adults answering questions about their own hypothetical results vs. parents answering questions about their child’s actual result – Survey administered immediately following result disclosure • If not possible then within 1 week of return of results • 10 to 20 minutes to complete
Actionability Classification • Actionable – 1 CYP2D6 gene that does not make enzyme and 1 CYP2D6 gene that makes an enzyme that does not work as well as expected – 2 CYP2D6 genes that do not work – at least 3 CYP2D6 genes that work well • Potentially actionable – 1 CYP2D6 gene that makes normal amount of enzyme and one gene that makes enzyme that does not work as well as expected. – 1 CYP2D6 gene that makes normal amount of enzyme and one gene that does not. – 2 CYP2D6 genes that make enzyme that does not work as well as expected • Not actionable – 2 CYP2D6 genes that make normal amounts of enzyme
Hypotheses • Child’s previous opioid exposure will influence parents’ likelihood of sharing results with health care providers • Parents who receive actionable results will be more inclined to share results with health care providers
Analyses • Data analyzed with PSPP and JMP • Descriptive statistics – Frequencies • Pair-wise comparisons – Wilcoxon Rank Sum

Discussion • Actionability confers clinical utility. – Clinical utility : a result is clinically useful when it leads to an improved health outcome [1] • Results, regardless of category, have personal utility – Personal utility : a result is personally useful when the outcome has value to the individual • Replication of literature suggesting individuals want to receive results [2,5,6]
