Key Points

  • Examine factors associated with the inaccurate recall of genetic test results among individuals with germline pathogenic variants.
  • Observational study design
  • Assessment of participant recall accuracy regarding genetic test results
  • Analysis of demographic and clinical factors influencing recall
  • 11% of participants did not accurately recall their genetic test results
  • Poor documentation is linked to inaccuracies in recall
  • The need for improved accessibility of test results for patients and providers was identified

Abstract

Given 11% of participants failed to remember being tested or failed to accurately recall their result, this highlights the importance of documentation and accessibility of test results by both patients and providers to ensure patients receive appropriate care.
