Research suggests that partner relationship quality influences the psychological well-being of individuals with chronic pain, but the specific components of the relationship involved remain understudied. This study examined which dimensions of relationship adjustment influence the depressive and anxiety symptoms reported by the partner with chronic pain. A community sample of 214 adults in a romantic relationship for at least a year were recruited. Participants completed online questionnaires assessing pain characteristics (pain duration, pain intensity), relationship characteristics (marital status, duration of relationship), quality of relationship (dyadic adjustment, conjugal support) and emotional state (symptoms of depression and anxiety). Overall, participants reported well-adjusted relationships with their partners and higher levels of dyadic adjustment and conjugal support were associated with reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety. Most importantly, dyadic consensus, marital status, and pain intensity revealed to be predictive of depressive symptoms, whereas dyadic consensus and pain intensity were predictive of anxiety symptoms. These findings highlight the need to consider the interpersonal functioning of this population to enhance their psychological well-being.

Purpose: Genomic sequencing of newborns (NBSeq) can initiate disease surveillance and therapy for children, and may identify at-risk relatives through reverse cascade testing. We explored genetic risk communication and reverse cascade testing among families of newborns who underwent exome sequencing and had a risk for autosomal dominant disease identified.
Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews with parents of newborns enrolled in the BabySeq Project who had a pathogenic or likely-pathogenic (P/LP) variant associated with an autosomal dominant (AD) childhood- and/or adult-onset disease returned.
