Research biobank participants attitudes towards genetic exceptionalism and health record confidentiality.
Victoria Dortenzio et al. J Community Genet 2024 3 (Posted Apr 08, 2024 9AM)

From the abstract: "The goals of this study were to determine biobank participants’ attitudes towards genetic exceptionalism and confidentiality and whether those attitudes are related to their preference for return of genetic results. An online questionnaire was distributed to patients with an EHR and email address who had previously enrolled in the BioMe Biobank program. Most participants responded with similar levels of concern in scenarios involving the use of genetic information and other types of health information, suggesting that participants want similar protections for genetic data as other types of sensitive health information, particularly mental health and family history records. "

Susceptibility to Treatment-Resistant Depression Within Families.
Chih-Ming Cheng et al. JAMA Psychiatry 2024 4 (Posted Apr 05, 2024 9AM)

From the abstract: " Is the treatment-resistant depression (TRD) phenotype transmitted within a family? This cohort study found that, compared with control individuals match for birth year, sex, and kinship, first-degree-relatives of individuals with TRD had an increased risk of developing TRD and increased suicide mortality. The findings suggest that a family history of TRD might be a clinically significant risk factor for resistance to antidepressant treatment and increased suicide mortality, indicating that combining or altering therapies for depression might be considered instead of monotherapy at an earlier treatment stage. "

A call for increased inclusivity and global representation in pharmacogenetic testing.
April Kennedy et al. NPJ Genom Med 2024 2 (1) 13 (Posted Feb 23, 2024 3PM)

From the abstract: "Commercial pharmacogenetic testing panels capture a fraction of the genetic variation underlying medication metabolism and predisposition to adverse reactions. In this study we compared variation in six pharmacogenes detected by whole genome sequencing (WGS) to a targeted commercial panel in a cohort of 308 individuals with family history of pediatric heart disease. In 1% of the cohort, WGS identified rare variants that altered the interpretation of metabolizer status and would thus prevent potential errors in gene-based dosing. "

Recent advances in polygenic scores: translation, equitability, methods and FAIR tools.
Ruidong Xiang et al. Genome Med 2024 2 (1) 33 (Posted Feb 22, 2024 11AM)

From the abstract: " We review the latest potential benefits of PGS in the clinic and challenges to implementation. PGS could augment risk stratification through combined use with traditional risk factors (demographics, disease-specific risk factors, family history, etc.), to support diagnostic pathways, to predict groups with therapeutic benefits, and to increase the efficiency of clinical trials. However, there exist challenges to maximizing the clinical utility of PGS, including FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) use and standardized sharing of the genomic data needed to develop and recalculate PGS, the equitable performance of PGS across populations."
