Explaining behavior change after genetic testing: the problem of collinearity between test results and risk estimates.

Genetic testing - 1 Sept 2008

Fanshawe Thomas R, Prevost A Toby, Roberts J Scott, Green Robert C, Armstrong David, Marteau Theresa M

Abstract excerpt

This paper explores whether and how the behavioral impact of genotype disclosure can be disentangled from the impact of numerical risk estimates generated by genetic tests. Secondary data analyses are presented from a randomized controlled trial of 162 first-degree relatives of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. Each participant received a lifetime risk estimate of AD. Control group estimates were based on age,...
