Summary

This study looked at what happens when researchers return genetic test results to healthy volunteers from two large heart studies. About 48 adults had their genomes analyzed to find actionable genetic risks. The goal was to see how many people followed up on their results and what the costs were, helping improve future genetic testing programs.
