Returning a Research Participant's Genomic Results to Relatives: Perspectives from Managers of Two Distinct Research Biobanks.

J Law Med Ethics

January 2017

Professor of Genetics, Cell Biology and Development at the University of Minnesota. He earned his doctorate in Biochemistry from the University of Minnesota and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia, and has served as the Department Head and Director of the Institute of Human Genetics at the University of Minnesota.

Research biobanks are heterogeneous and exist to manage diverse biosample types with the goal of facilitating and serving biomedical discovery. The perspectives of biobank managers are reviewed, and the perspectives of two biobank directors, one with experience in institutional biobanks and the other with national cooperative group banks, are presented. Most research biobanks are not designed, nor do they have the resources, to return research results and incidental findings to participants or their families.

Yet investigators lack guidance on return of results to relatives, including after the participant's death. In this paper, a national working group offers consensus analysis and recommendations, including an ethical framework to guide investigators in managing this challenging issue, before and after the participant's death.
