Overview of DD session

Plenary Introduction	Overview of the agenda for the day
Small Group: Session 1	Ice breaker exercises
	Video, “Whole Genome Sequencing and You”¹
	Discussion focusing on reactions to the video
Expert Presentations	Each presentation lasted 50 minutes, including a 15 minute question and answer session.
	Presentation 1: “What can we learn from sequencing our genes”
	Presentation 2: “Ethical issues in sequencing our genes”
Small Group: Session 2	Participants were given a chance to reflect upon and discuss the 2 presentations and general thoughts on genomic sequencing. (30 minutes)
Policy Presentation	Explanation of proposed policies regarding return of secondary findings in 3 situations – medically actionable results, adult-onset conditions, and carrier status. For each policy, participants were asked to consider “Should this be the genomic sequencing policy?”
Small Group: Session 3	Discuss & vote on proposed policy: “Patients are given medically actionable results that are not related to the reason for the sequencing. Patients have a choice: They can ask to NOT be given these results.” (30 minutes)
Small Group: Session 4	Discuss & vote on proposed policy: “Children and their parents are not given results for adult-onset conditions that are not related to the reason for the sequencing. Children and their parents have no choice: They will not be given these results even if they want them.” (30 minutes)
Small Group: Session 5	Discuss & vote on proposed policy: “Patients are not given carrier status results that are not related to the reason for the sequencing. Patients have no choice: They will not be given these results even if they want them.” (30 minutes)
