What happens when your genes reveal a surprise? new study seeks answers.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

* ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: We employ a referral form through SurveyMonkey to receive referrals from recruitment partners or self-referrals. This serves as an intake form and self-reported eligibility review. This form asks for contact information, key information about the prospective participant s SF, and subjective understanding of their result. If we conclude, based on a review of the SF and available personal and/or family history, that the pathogenicity of the SF is not at least likely pathogenic, that participant may be eligible for the survey, interview, and/or re-contact for future follow-up, but will not complete any other protocol procedures (such as cascade testing). If a participant is consented and information arises during the social and behavioral study procedures that lead study staff to believe the genetic result does not qualify as an SF, the participant will be considered a screen failure and will not continue with study procedures. We plan to offer enrollment in this protocol to English- or Spanish-speaking recipients of SF. We do not have trained staff who can conduct the interviews in languages other than English and Spanish. If a caregiver of a minor or adult who is unable to consent is enrolled as an index participant to complete the survey and interview on behalf of the SF recipient, they may also be eligible for cascade testing to relate presence of an SF-related phenotype in a family member with presence or absence of SF genotype. -We may enroll a child in this protocol if he/she is the only person in his/her family who has the SF, is symptomatic of the disease, or is in the age range to receive screening for the disease (e.g., Wilson disease and familial hypercholesterolemia have childhood onset). We will not enroll neonates (less than one month old). * We may enroll adults who are unable to consent (i.e., an individual who is impaired at the time of consent) in this protocol if he/she is the only person in his/her family who has the SF, is symptomatic of the disease, or is in the age range to receive screening for the disease. * We may enroll women who are pregnant in this protocol and women who become pregnant during the study can continue their participation. We will not perform prenatal genetic testing. * NIH staff members are not prohibited from enrollment if they meet the study s eligibility criteria. The study team will make every effort to protect the confidentiality of the NIH staff member s health information, to minimize any pressure on or discomfort of the NIH staff member and provide a copy of the NIH Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for Staff Who are Considering Participation in NIH Research , before consent is obtained.
