Not Forgotten: Patient Experiences with Genetic Variant Reclassifications

2026-05-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Purpose</h4> Genetic variant reclassification is increasingly common in clinical genomics, yet limited data describe how patients experience re-contact and variant reclassification in routine clinical care. <h4>Methods</h4> We conducted semi-structured qualitative interviews with 20 adult patients who received a variant reclassification following routine clinical genetic testing. Interviews explored emotiona...
