With chapters written by experts in the field, this book is the first to concisely explain the ethical and practical issues raised by secondary genomics findings for a multi and interdisciplinary audience of genomic researchers, translational scientists, clinicians, medical students, genetic counselors, ethicists, legal experts and law students, public policy specialists and regulators.
Contributors from Europe, North America, and Asia effectively synthesize perspectives from a spectrum of different scientific, societal, and global contexts, and offer pragmatic approaches to a range of topics, including oversight, governance and policy surrounding secondary genomic results, criteria for identifying results for return, communication and consent, stakeholders’ attitudes and perspectives, disclosing results, and clinical, patient-centered protocols.
- Thoroughly addresses the scientific, ethical, practical and clinical issues raised by secondary findings resulting from genomic research, including active debate and challenges in the field
- Provides researchers, clinicians, regulators, and stakeholders with a holistic, interdisciplinary approach to interpreting, managing and disclosing secondary findings
- Brings together expert analysis from scholars across Europe, North America, and Asia representing a wide variety of scientific and societal contexts
Active researchers, basic and translational scientists, clinicians, postgraduates, and students in the areas of genetics, human genomics, pathology and bioinformatics; medical students, pediatricians; internal medicine physicians and residents; genetic counselors, and genetic counseling students; clinical and laboratory genetics trainees (residents and fellows); law students and legal professionals; students and professionals in biomedical ethics, research ethics, public policy, and regulatory practice

Pia Erdmann
Pia Erdmann, PhD was a German sociologist and ethicist with a strong expertise in empirical research related to normative aspects of medical research and translational medicine. Between 2009 and 2018 she conducted empirical research on the consequences of disclosing incidental findings from population-based imaging research, on theoretical and ethical aspects of systems medicine and on issues related to the return of results in current Alzheimer's disease research. Her study on incidental findings from population-based imaging reserach was recognized with the Research Award 2015 of the German Association of Ethics Committees. In 2018 Dr. Erdmann was appointed to a professorship of ethics at the Medical School Berlin, but before she could take up this prestigious position she died in June, 2018. Dr.Erdmann recieved her doctor's degree at the University of Greifswald (Germany).
