There is an emerging consensus that genomic researchers should, at a minimum, offer to return to individual participants clinically valid, medically important and medically actionable genomic findings (for example, pathogenic variants in BRCA1) identified in the course of research. However, this is not a common practice in psychiatric genetics research. Furthermore, psychiatry researchers often generate findings that do not meet all of these criteria, yet there may be ethically compelling arguments to offer selected results. Here, we review the return of results debate in genomics research and propose that, as for genomic studies of other medical conditions, psychiatric genomics researchers should offer findings that meet the minimum criteria stated above. Additionally, if resources allow, psychiatry researchers could consider offering to return pre-specified 'clinically valuable' findings even if not medically actionable-for instance, findings that help corroborate a psychiatric diagnosis, and findings that indicate important health risks. Similarly, we propose offering 'likely clinically valuable' findings, specifically, variants of uncertain significance potentially related to a participant's symptoms. The goal of this Perspective is to initiate a discussion that can help identify optimal ways of managing the return of results from psychiatric genomics research.

从精神病学基因组学研究返回结果的道德指导得到改善。

新兴的共识是,基因组研究人员至少应提出将在研究过程中确定的临床有效,医学上重要且具有医学作用的基因组发现(例如BRCA1中的致病变体)返还给个体参与者的方法。但是,这在精神遗传学研究中并不常见。此外,精神病学研究人员通常会得出不符合所有这些标准的发现,但是可能会有道德上令人信服的论据来提供选定的结果。在这里,我们回顾了基因组学研究结果辩论的结果,并建议,对于其他医学疾病的基因组研究,精神病学基因组学研究人员应提供符合上述最低标准的发现。此外,如果资源允许,精神病学研究人员可以考虑提供即使不是医学上可行的也可以返回预先指定的“临床上有价值的”发现的证据,例如,有助于证实精神病学诊断的发现,以及表明重要的健康风险的发现。同样,我们建议提供“可能具有临床价值”的发现,尤其是可能与参与者症状相关的不确定重要性的变体。该观点的目的是发起一个讨论,以帮助确定管理精神病学基因组学研究结果返回的最佳方法。可能具有临床价值的发现,尤其是可能与参与者症状相关的不确定意义的变异。该观点的目的是发起一个讨论,以帮助确定管理精神病学基因组学研究结果返回的最佳方法。可能具有临床价值的发现,尤其是可能与参与者症状相关的不确定意义的变异。该观点的目的是发起一个讨论,以帮助确定管理精神病学基因组学研究结果返回的最佳方法。
