See the video Presidential Bioethics Report on Incidental Findings The Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues released a report on Dec. 12, 2013, entitled Anticipate and Communicate: Ethical Management of Incidental and Secondary Findings in the Clinical, Research, and Direct-to-Consumer Contexts. Although not specifically focused on genomics, the report and its guidelines have implications for genomics research and medicine. Read the report Read the press release The Genomics Landscape Jumping into the deep end of genomic medicine When NHGRI published its new strategic vision for genomics in 2011, we recognized that we had a lot to learn about the research needed to apply genomics to clinical care. At the same time, it seemed critical that we begin to establish a foundation of research programs that would facilitate the implementation of genomic medicine, so we decided to jump in and start swimming!
