CENTER FOR INDIVIDUALIZED MEDICINE Genetic Knowledge and Return of Results Preferences in the Mayo Clinic Biobank Janet E. Olson, Ph.D. 2012 MFMER slide-1
The Mayo Clinic Biobank A Mayo Clinic initiative to enroll 50,000 Mayo Clinic patients regardless of their health history (no specific disease) by end of 2016 Launched 4/1/2009 Eligible: Mayo patients 18 years+ US resident 2012 MFMER slide-2 3039880-2
Mayo Clinic Biobank Invited via mail prior to medical appointment Over 40,000 consented to date Blood QN data Over 110 projects approved to date 2012 MFMER slide-3
Excerpt from Biobank Consent form: 9. What if researchers discover something about my health? During individual studies, researchers could find out important information about your health. They might discover something about your health right now, or about your risk of getting sick in the future. Researchers will not discover something about every donor, so you are not guaranteed to receive results. 2012 MFMER slide-4
Excerpt from Biobank Consent form: Since decisions about health and disease are very personal, no one can predict which results donors will want in the future. One of the important jobs that BTOG has is to decide which research results, if any, will be returned to Biobank donors. They will make this decision for each individual study after consulting with the appropriate researchers, doctors, and the Community Advisory Board. Names will not be mentioned during this process. Outcome of Biobank Access Committee on February 16, 2011: Genetic test results would be returned if warranted 2012 MFMER slide-5
Genetic Knowledge Survey 2012 MFMER slide-6
Questions What is the level of genetic knowledge in our population? As we think about returning results in the future what are the interests of our population in receiving results? What do they think about the use of new Whole Genome Sequencing technology? 2012 MFMER slide-7
