useful to a physician or other clinician, such as a genetic counselor, with whom the contributor may choose to pursue the finding. This will generally mean that the finding should be returned both through direct conversation with the contributor and in writing, to minimize miscommunication and facilitate follow-up. Those professionals recontacting the contributor and communicating the findings should be prepared to offer clinical referrals, including for genetic counseling. If the contributor prefers that the finding be communicated directly to the contributor’s health professional, this preference should be honored.
