What is Attitudes on Pharmacogenomic Results as Secondary Findings Among Medical Geneticists about?

## Objectives: As evidence mounts supporting the utility of pharmacogenomic-guided medication management, incorporating pharmacogenomic genes into secondary finding results from sequencing panels is increasingly under consideration. we studied medical geneticists' attitudes on receiving pharmacogenomic results as secondary finding. ## Methods: Four focus groups with 16 medical geneticists total were conducted followed by thematic analysis. ## Results: All participants ordered genetic sequencing tests; however, the majority had rarely or never ordered pharmacogenomic tests (10/16) or prescribed medications with established response variability (11/16). in total 81.3% expressed low comfort interpreting pharmacogenomic results without appropriate clinical resources (13/16). the positives of receiving pharmacogenomic results as secondary finding included prevention of adverse drug reactions in adults, grateful information-seeking patients, the ability to rapidly prescribe more effective treatments and appreciation of the recent advances in both pharmacogenomic knowledge and available guidelines. negatives included laboratory reporting issues, exclusivity of pharmacogenomic results to c
