genomic, and other findings that qualify will change with increasing knowledge. Thus, Fabsitz et al.86 urge creation of a central advisory committee that can offer advice on what genetic and genomic findings are sufficiently well understood, significant, and actionable to qualify for return. Yet those authors are careful to recommend that such a body be advisory. There may be good grounds to adjust the committee-recommended criteria and roster of returnable findings according to the specific nature of the study or biobank, the study or biobank population, and their preferences for return. Indeed, Fabsitz et al. recommend involvement of the research participant community, when identifiable, in addressing return of IRRs.
