Systematic reanalysis of genomic data by diagnostic laboratories: a scoping review of ethical, economic, legal and (psycho)social implications.
Marije A van der Geest et al. Eur J Hum Genet 2024 3 (Posted Mar 18, 2024 9AM)

From the abstract: "In total, we identified nine ELSI aspects, such as (perceived) professional responsibilities, implications for consent and cost-effectiveness. The identified ELSI aspects brought forward necessary trade-offs for GHPs to consciously take into account when considering responsible implementation of systematic reanalysis of NGS data in routine diagnostics, balancing the various strains on their laboratories and personnel while creating optimal results for new and former patients.

Improving Noninvasive Colorectal Cancer Screening.
John M Carethers et al. N Engl J Med 2024 3 (11) 1045-1046 (Posted Mar 14, 2024 10AM)

From the article: "Screening for colorectal cancer saves lives. Screening tests have evolved to include stool-based, endoscopic and image-based, and blood-based methods, with minimal thresholds for sensitivity and specificity for colorectal cancer set by the baseline characteristics of FIT. Although multiple tests have been developed over time and vary in cost-effectiveness for colorectal cancer screening, the best screening test is the one that gets completed by the patient. Most of the recommended tests, including the two newer tests assessed in the studies now published in the Journal, improve on the sensitivity and approach the specificity of FIT. "

Cost-Effectiveness of Population-Based Multigene Testing for Breast and Ovarian Cancer Prevention.
Fangjian Guo et al. JAMA Netw Open 2024 2 (2) e2356078 (Posted Feb 15, 2024 9AM)

From the abstract: "Is a population-wide genetic testing strategy more cost-effective than the current family history–based testing strategy for breast and ovarian cancer prevention? This economic evaluation found that population-based BRCA1, BRCA2, and PALB2 testing among unselected women was cost-effective for the prevention of breast and ovarian cancer and remained cost-effective in extensive 1-way sensitivity analyses. Population-wide genetic testing was 100% cost-effective for all the simulations in probabilistic sensitivity analyses; it became cost-inefficient only when the cost of the test exceeded a certain threshold ($825). The findings support the need for a shift toward more comprehensive genetic testing strategies to identify pathogenic variant carriers and enable informed decision-making for personalized risk management.

Cost-Effectiveness of Gene-Specific Prevention Strategies for Ovarian and Breast Cancer.
Xia Wei et al. JAMA Netw Open 2024 2 (2) e2355324 (Posted Feb 11, 2024 10AM)

From the abstract: This economic evaluation using a decision-analytic Markov model with a simulated cohort of women aged 30 years found that undergoing both risk-reducing mastectomy (RRM) and risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) was most cost-effective, maximizing cancers prevented for individuals carrying BRCA1 (RRM at age 30 years; RRSO at age 35 years), BRCA2 (RRM at age 35 years; RRSO at age 40 years), and PALB2 (RRM at age 40 years; RRSO at age 45 years) pathogenic variants, while RRSO was cost-effective at age 45 years for women with RAD51C, RAD51D, and BRIP1 pathogenic variants."
