It has long been argued that the family is an important unit of significance in genomics, yet it has been challenging to address this in clinical care. This is apparent in how hospital administrators and clinicians in the United States typically approach cascade screening, the process of notifying and offering genetic testing to at-risk relatives of a patient with a hereditary condition. The most common notification approach is proband-led contact, in which the index patient is responsible for communicating a health risk to their relatives. This model has been associated with suboptimal outcomes. In contrast, recent research has shown that system-led contact, in which healthcare or public health institutions initiate communication to relatives with the proband's consent, has been associated with increased clinical utility and acceptability.</p><p><strong>Summary: </strong>With the needs of hospital administrators and clinicians in mind, we revisit normative questions about the appropriate way to notify relatives about their potentially elevated risk of developing an actionable disease. We review evidence demonstrating that system-led direct contact of relatives is feasible and acceptable. We further argue that system-led contact of relatives eligible for cascade screening is ethically justified if these programs are designed with public input, have an opt-out provision, and are implemented for conditions that meet specific criteria which we propose in this article.</p><p><strong>Key messages: </strong>In this article, we emphasize the usefulness of public health ethics frameworks to inform the design of system-led contact programs.

Other gene therapy protocols for conditions relating to public health continue to advance and are being discussed in academic and professional circles. This review examines the pace of public health-related gene therapy and gene editing development since the publication of a key British white paper dealing with the pace of fruition in this field.</p><p><strong>Summary: </strong>Gene therapy developments related to public health fit into three overarching baskets: (1) gene therapy and editing for rare, single-gene disorders (e.g., homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia and hereditary amyloidosis polyneuropathy); (2) gene therapy and editing for high prevalence conditions (e.g., SCD); and (3) genetic engineering and gene editing of mosquitoes transmitting tropical disease. While the protocols listed in this purposive inspection largely center around phase III (comparing treatments), with several in phase II (establishing efficacy) and phase I (assessing safety), costs of actual administration can span USD 2.1 to 3.1 million. By comparison, conventional SCD treatment runs between USD 22,500 and USD 200,000 per year for its most severe forms. Expert and public buy-in of gene editing of mosquitoes to reduce tropical disease and for human germline gene editing contain many caveats, with public health serving a useful monitoring and filtering role for how a technology might be deemed permissible.</p><p><strong>Key messages: </strong>Gene therapy has advanced beyond the stage where possible consequences serve as an automatic barrier to mainstream use, moving it closer to British white paper objectives. Ethical and feasible adoption by public health, taking into account population needs, will most likely happen through a combination Medicaid and Medicare, as opposed to the system governing newborn screening, under arrangements similar to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' coverage under evidence development program. Vector gene drives to alleviate tropical disease should remain privately financed, with this type of financing also being used for the vast majority of gene therapies entering the market. Though the criteria for germline applications continue to evolve, in the end such applications do not serve public health purposes. Academic public health has a monitoring role to play as relevant gene therapy and gene editing trials evolve; public health practice a referral and field monitoring role in the T3 (implementation) and T4 (population outcomes) translational research phases for the few applications that could justifiably receive public funding and public health support.</p>","PeriodicalId":49650,"journal":{"name":"Public Health Genomics","volume":" ","pages":"241-251"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144327527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, keeping pace with the evolving genomics knowledge is a challenge for oncologists who are not genomic experts. This detrimentally impacts on equitable patient access to related services and benefits which require training in genomics. In Australia, cancer incidence, survival, and mortality rates are significantly worse in the most socioeconomically disadvantaged areas compared to the least disadvantaged areas. Guided by implementation science methods, the research aimed to determine how to support oncologists with varying levels of genomic expertise to tailor optimal treatment decisions and deliver a high-quality service, across diverse geographical locations.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We used a novel approach combining clinician intuition and implementation science theory to co-design service interventions (i.e., service models) and associated implementation strategies to inform operationalisation. Phenomenology and principles of co-design guided two phases of data collection with two separate cohorts of oncologists delivering care to advanced cancer patients. Phase 1 interview data were coded thematically to develop the service models, while phase 2 focus group data were used to identify implementation strategies to support service model operationalisation. The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) informed phase 1 and 2 data analysis.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Phase 1 established three overarching themes and nine subthemes: (1) access - potential for inequitable patient access by centralising genomic expertise, (2) indicators for test use - identifying suitable patients for complex genomic profiling (CGP) testing, and (3) supporting use of results - confidence to discuss results, particularly from germline and somatic testing. Five challenges were prioritised, mapped to the CGP clinical pathway, and coded to 11 unique CFIR constructs. Across all five prioritised challenges, we recorded 19 intuitive and generated 21 theory-informed strategies. The development of three service models (i.e., centralised expert, local super user, and point of care resources) arose through considering these strategies in combination with the study teams' broader experiences with the iPREDICT trial. In phase 2, we identified 11 implementation challenges, mapped to 7 CFIR constructs, and 11 intuitive and 20 theory-informed strategies for service model operationalisation.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The service models generated from our study are currently being tested in a multi-centre implementation study to evaluate feasibility, effectiveness, acceptability, sustainability, and scalability.</p>","PeriodicalId":49650,"journal":{"name":"Public Health Genomics","volume":" ","pages":"113-130"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143607046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
