"I'm quite proud of how we've handled it": health professionals' experiences of returning additional findings from the 100,000 genomes project.

Participants in the 100,000 Genomes Project (100kGP) could consent to receive additional finding (AF) results, individual variants relating to genes associated with susceptibility to cancer and familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). In the study reported here, qualitative interviews were used to explore the experiences of National Health Service (NHS) professionals from across England who were tasked with returning over 80,000 "no AF" results and 700 positive AF results to 100kGP participants. Interviews were conducted with 45 professionals from a range of backgrounds, including Genetic Counsellors, Clinical Geneticists, FH Clinical Nurse Specialists and Clinical Scientists.

The psychosocial impact of prostate cancer screening for BRCA1 and BRCA2 carriers.

Objectives: To report the long-term outcomes from a longitudinal psychosocial study that forms part of the 'Identification of Men with a genetic predisposition to ProstAte Cancer: Targeted Screening in men at higher genetic risk and controls' (IMPACT) study. The IMPACT study is a multi-national study of targeted prostate cancer (PrCa) screening in individuals with a known germline pathogenic variant (GPV) in either the BReast CAncer gene 1 (BRCA1) or the BReast CAncer gene 2 (BRCA2).

Subjects And Methods: Participants enrolled in the IMPACT study were invited to complete a psychosocial questionnaire prior to each annual screening visit for a minimum of 5 years.

UK consensus recommendations for clinical management of cancer risk for women with germline pathogenic variants in cancer predisposition genes: , , and .

Germline pathogenic variants (GPVs) in the cancer predisposition genes , , , , , , , and are identified in approximately 15% of patients with ovarian cancer (OC). While there are clear guidelines around clinical management of cancer risk in patients with GPV in , , , and , there are few guidelines on how to manage the more moderate OC risk in patients with GPV in , , and , with clinical questions about appropriateness and timing of risk-reducing gynaecological surgery. Furthermore, while recognition of and R as OC predisposition genes has been established for several years, an association with breast cancer (BC) has only more recently been described and clinical management of this risk has been unclear.

A systematic review of licensed weight-loss medications in treating antipsychotic-induced weight gain and obesity in schizophrenia and psychosis.

Background: Schizophrenia and antipsychotic use are associated with clinically significant weight gain and subsequent increased mortality. Despite weight loss medications (WLMs) licensed by regulatory bodies (FDA, EMA, and MHRA) being available, current psychiatric guidelines recommend off-label alternatives, which differ from non-psychiatric guidelines for obesity.

Objective: Evaluate the efficacy of licensed WLMs on treating antipsychotic-induced weight gain (AIWG) and obesity in schizophrenia and psychosis (OSP).
