This white paper was prepared by the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health Regulatory and Ethics Work Stream's Pediatric Task Team to review and provide perspective with respect to ethical, legal, and social issues regarding the return of secondary pharmacogenomic variants in children who have a serious disease or developmental disorder and are undergoing exome or genome sequencing to identify a genetic cause of their condition. We discuss actively searching for and reporting pharmacogenetic/genomic variants in pediatric patients, different methods of returning secondary pharmacogenomic findings to the patient/parents and/or treating clinicians, maintaining these data in the patient's health record over …

Public Perspectives On Investigative Genetic Genealogy: Findings From A National Focus Group Study, Jacklyn Dahlquist, Jill O Robinson, Amira Daoud, Whitney Bash-Brooks, Amy L Mcguire, Christi J Guerrini, Stephanie M Fullerton

Center for Medical Ethics and Health Policy Staff Publications

Background: Investigative genetic genealogy (IGG) is a technique that involves uploading genotypes developed from perpetrator DNA left at a crime scene, or DNA from unidentified remains, to public genetic genealogy databases to identify genetic relatives and, through the creation of a family tree, the individual who was the source of the DNA. As policymakers demonstrate interest in regulating IGG, it is important to understand public perspectives on IGG to determine whether proposed policies are aligned with public attitudes.

Methods: We conducted eight focus groups with members of the public (N = 72), sampled from four geographically diverse US regions, …

Patient Perceptions On The Advancement Of Noninvasive Prenatal Testing For Sickle Cell Disease Among Black Women In The United States, Shameka P Thomas, Faith E Fletcher, Rachele Willard, Tiara Monet Ranson, Vence L Bonham

Center for Medical Ethics and Health Policy Staff Publications

Background: Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) designed to screen for fetal genetic conditions, is increasingly being implemented as a part of routine prenatal care screening in the United States (US). However, these advances in reproductive genetic technology necessitate empirical research on the ethical and social implications of NIPT among populations underrepresented in genetic research, particularly Black women with sickle cell disease (SCD).

Methods: Forty (N = 40) semi-structured interviews were conducted virtually with Black women in the US (19 participants with SCD; 21 participants without SCD) from June 2021 to January 2022. We employed a qualitative approach to examine the …

Choosing Your “Healthiest” Embryo After Dobbs: Polygenic Screening And Distinctive Challenges For Truth In Advertising And Informed Consent, Dov Fox, Sonia Suter, Meghna Mukherjee, Stacey Pereira, Gabriel Lázaro-Muñoz

Center for Medical Ethics and Health Policy Staff Publications

Polygenic embryo screening ("PES") analyzes embryos for hundreds or thousands of genomic loci to generate risk scores that estimate genetic susceptibility to conditions and traits compared to the general population. The technology is commercially marketed directly to consumers. Companies focus mostly on medical conditions, sometimes in ways that oversell its advantages and efficacy, encouraging fertility patients to "choose your healthiest embryo" and "protect your future child from genetic risks." The advertising of PES trades on norms of children's health and good parenting and reinforces those normative ideals. While it is easy to assume PES will be constrained in practice by …

As the federal government continues to expand upon and improve its data sharing policies over the past 20 years, complex challenges remain. Our interviews with U.S. academic genetic researchers (n=23) found that the burden, translation, industry limitations, and consent structure of data sharing remain major governance challenges.

Law Enforcement Use Of Genetic Genealogy Databases In Criminal Investigations: Nomenclature, Definition And Scope, Oliver M Tuazon, Ray A Wickenheiser, Ricky Ansell, Christi J Guerrini, Gerrit-Jan Zwenne, Bart Custers

Center for Medical Ethics and Health Policy Staff Publications

Although law enforcement use of commercial genetic genealogy databases has gained prominence since the arrest of the Golden State Killer in 2018, and it has been used in hundreds of cases in the United States and more recently in Europe and Australia, it does not have a standard nomenclature and scope. We analyzed the more common terms currently being used and propose a common nomenclature: investigative forensic genetic genealogy (iFGG). We define iFGG as the use by law enforcement of genetic genealogy combined with traditional genealogy to generate suspect investigational leads from forensic samples in criminal investigations. We describe iFGG …

Big Advocacy, Little Recognition: The Hidden Work Of Black Patients In Precision Medicine, Lynette Hammond Gerido, Kenneth Resnicow, Elena M Stoffel, Tiah Tomlin, Robert Cook-Deegan, Melissa Cline, Amy Coffin, Jill Holdren, Mary Anderlik Majumder, Zhe He

Center for Medical Ethics and Health Policy Staff Publications

As cost-effective next-generation genome sequencing rapidly develops, calls for greater inclusion of Black people in genomic research, policy, and practice are necessary for effective translation of genomic science into precision population health and medicine. Employing a community-based participatory mixed methods research design, we developed a semi-structured survey that was disseminated to three cancer advocacy organizations. Of the 81 survey respondents 49 (60%) self-identified as Black, and 26 (32%) indicated a prior breast cancer diagnosis. Black participants' expressed concerns about genetic testing were evenly distributed between concerns that could be addressed through genetic counseling (24%) and concerns about subsequent use of …

Responding Well To Spiritual Worldviews: A Taxonomy For Clinical Ethicists, Trevor M Bibler

Center for Medical Ethics and Health Policy Staff Publications

Every clinical ethics consultant, no matter their own spirituality, will meet patients, families, and healthcare professionals whose spiritualities anchor their moral worldviews. How might ethicists respond to those who rely on spirituality when making medical decisions? And further, should ethicists incorporate their own spiritual commitments into their clinical analyses and recommendations? These questions prompt reflection on foundational issues in the philosophy of medicine, political and moral theory, and methods of proper clinical ethics consultation. Rather than attempting to offer definitive answers to these questions, this essay prompts readers to consider their own answers to these questions. Specifically, it offers a …

Clinically Indicated Genomic Sequencing Of Children In Foster Care: Legal And Ethical Issues, Hadley Stevens Smith, Emily S Bonkowski, Madison R Hickingbotham, Stacey Pereira, Thomas May, Christi J Guerrini

Center for Medical Ethics and Health Policy Staff Publications

There are approximately 400 000 children in foster care in the US, approximately one-half of whom have chronic health problems and approximately 10% of whom have complex healthcare needs. Given the increasing relevance of genomic sequencing to guide clinical care for children with rare, chronic, and undiagnosed conditions, it may be an important component of diagnostic evaluation for children in foster care. Clinically indicated genomic sequencing may provide information that has health implications for children in foster care, as well as for their biological parents and other relatives. Whether and how genomic sequencing results impact legal decision making and family …

Researching The Future: Scenarios To Explore The Future Of Human Genome Editing, Cynthia Selin, Lauren Lambert, Stephanie Morain, John P Nelson, Dorit Barlevy, Mahmud Farooque, Haley Manley, Christopher T Scott

Center for Medical Ethics and Health Policy Staff Publications

Background: Forward-looking, democratically oriented governance is needed to ensure that human genome editing serves rather than undercuts public values. Scientific, policy, and ethics communities have recognized this necessity but have demonstrated limited understanding of how to fulfill it. The field of bioethics has long attempted to grapple with the unintended consequences of emerging technologies, but too often such foresight has lacked adequate scientific grounding, overemphasized regulation to the exclusion of examining underlying values, and failed to adequately engage the public.

Methods: This research investigates the application of scenario planning, a tool developed in the high-stakes, uncertainty-ridden world of corporate strategy, …

High Foxa1 Levels Induce Er Transcriptional Reprogramming, A Pro-Metastatic Secretome, And Metastasis In Endocrine-Resistant Breast Cancer, Xiaoyong Fu, Resel Pereira, Chia-Chia Liu, Carmine De Angelis, Martin J Shea, Sarmistha Nanda, Lanfang Qin, Tamika Mitchell, Maria L Cataldo, Jamunarani Veeraraghavan, Vidyalakshmi Sethunath, Mario Giuliano, Carolina Gutierrez, Balázs Győrffy, Meghana V Trivedi, Ofir Cohen, Nikhil Wagle, Agostina Nardone, Rinath Jeselsohn, Mothaffar F Rimawi, C Kent Osborne, Rachel Schiff

Center for Medical Ethics and Health Policy Staff Publications

Aberrant activation of the forkhead protein FOXA1 is observed in advanced hormone-related cancers. However, the key mediators of high FOXA1 signaling remain elusive. We demonstrate that ectopic high FOXA1 (H-FOXA1) expression promotes estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer (BC) metastasis in a xenograft mouse model. Mechanistically, H-FOXA1 reprograms ER-chromatin binding to elicit a core gene signature (CGS) enriched in ER+ endocrine-resistant (EndoR) cells. We identify Secretome14, a CGS subset encoding ER-dependent cancer secretory proteins, as a strong predictor for poor outcomes of ER+ BC. It is elevated in ER+ metastases vs. primary tumors, irrespective of ESR1 mutations. Genomic ER binding near …

Withdrawing Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (Ecmo) Against A Family’S Wishes: Three Permissible Scenarios, Trevor M Bibler, Asma Zainab

Center for Medical Ethics and Health Policy Staff Publications

The ethical permissibility of unilaterally withdrawing life-sustaining technologies has been a perennial topic in transplant and critical care medicine, often focusing on CPR and mechanical ventilation. The permissibility of unilateral withdrawal of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been discussed sparingly. When addressed, authors have appealed to professional authority rather than substantive ethical analysis. In this Perspective, we argue that there are at least three (3) scenarios wherein healthcare teams would be justified in unilaterally withdrawing ECMO, despite the objections of the patient's legal representative. The ethical considerations that provide the groundwork for these scenarios are, primarily: equity, integrity, and the …

Framing The Family: A Qualitative Exploration Of Factors That Shape Family-Level Experience Of Pediatric Genomic Sequencing, Hadley Stevens Smith, Emily S Bonkowski, Madison R Hickingbotham, Raymond Belanger Deloge, Stacey Pereira

Center for Medical Ethics and Health Policy Staff Publications

Families of children with rare and undiagnosed conditions face many psychosocial and logistical challenges that may affect their approach to decisions about their child’s care and their family’s well-being. As genomic sequencing (GS) is increasingly incorporated into pediatric diagnostic workups, assessing the family-level characteristics that shape the experience of pediatric GS is crucial to understanding how families approach decision-making about the test and how they incorporate the results into their family life. We conducted semi-structured interviews with parents and other primary caregivers of pediatric patients who were evaluated for a suspected genetic condition and who were recommended to have GS …

Hervs And Cancer-A Comprehensive Review Of The Relationship Of Human Endogenous Retroviruses And Human Cancers, Erik Stricker, Erin C Peckham-Gregory, Michael E Scheurer

Center for Medical Ethics and Health Policy Staff Publications

Genomic instability and genetic mutations can lead to exhibition of several cancer hallmarks in affected cells such as sustained proliferative signaling, evasion of growth suppression, activated invasion, deregulation of cellular energetics, and avoidance of immune destruction. Similar biological changes have been observed to be a result of pathogenic viruses and, in some cases, have been linked to virus-induced cancers. Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs), once external pathogens, now occupy more than 8% of the human genome, representing the merge of genomic and external factors. In this review, we outline all reported effects of HERVs on cancer development and discuss the HERV …

Center for Medical Ethics and Health Policy Staff Publications

Purpose: Most professional guidelines recommend against genetic screening for adult-onset only (AO) conditions until adulthood, yet others argue that there may be benefit to disclosing such results. We explored parents' decision-making on this issue in the BabySeq Project, a clinical trial of newborn genomic sequencing.

Methods: We conducted interviews with parents (N = 24) who were given the option to receive actionable AO results for their children. Interviews explored parents' motivations to receive and reasons to decline AO genetic disease risk information, their decision-making process, and their suggestions for supporting parents in making this decision.

Results: Parents noted several motivations …

Center for Medical Ethics and Health Policy Staff Publications

The clinical impact of any therapy requires the product be safe and effective. Gammaretroviral vectors pose several unique risks, including inadvertent exposure to replication competent retrovirus (RCR) that can arise during vector manufacture. The US FDA has required patient monitoring for RCR, and the National Gene Vector Biorepository is an NIH resource that has assisted eligible investigators in meeting this requirement. To date, we have found no evidence of RCR in 338 pre-treatment and 1,595 post-treatment blood samples from 737 patients associated with 60 clinical trials. Most samples (75%) were obtained within 1 year of treatment, and samples as far …

Detection And Characterization Of Constitutive Replication Origins Defined By Dna Polymerase Epsilon, Roman Jaksik, David A Wheeler, Marek Kimmel

Center for Medical Ethics and Health Policy Staff Publications

Background: Despite the process of DNA replication being mechanistically highly conserved, the location of origins of replication (ORI) may vary from one tissue to the next, or between rounds of replication in eukaryotes, suggesting flexibility in the choice of locations to initiate replication. Lists of human ORI therefore vary widely in number and location, and there are currently no methods available to compare them. Here, we propose a method of detection of ORI based on somatic mutation patterns generated by the mutator phenotype of damaged DNA polymerase epsilon (POLE).

Results: We report the genome-wide localization of constitutive ORI in POLE-mutated …

Payer Reimbursement Practices And Incentives For Improving Interpretation Of Germline Genetic Testing, Patricia Deverka, Janis Geary, Charles Mathews, Matan Cohen, Gillian Hooker, Mary Majumder, Zuzana Skvarkova, Robert Cook-Deegan

Center for Medical Ethics and Health Policy Staff Publications

Germline genetic testing for inherited cancer risk has shifted to multi-gene panel tests (MGPTs). While MGPTs detect more pathogenic variants, they also detect more variants of uncertain significance (VUSs) that increase the possibility of harms such as unnecessary surgery. Data sharing by laboratories is critical to addressing the VUS problem. However, barriers to sharing and an absence of incentives have limited laboratory contributions to the ClinVar database. Payers can play a crucial role in the expansion of knowledge and effectiveness of genetic testing. Current policies affecting MGPT reimbursement are complex and create perverse incentives. Trends in utilization and coverage for …
