Abstract excerpt

Elective genomic testing (EGT) for medically actionable disease predispositions may help adopted individuals (adoptees) with limited knowledge of family health history (FHH) information understand their inherited risks. In this prospective cohort study, patients who participated in Sanford Health's EGT program were surveyed at the time of enrollment between August 2020 and April 2022 about their motivations for...
