A number of commentators and a recent report by the PCSBI argue that possible abnormal genomic findings that are not the primary target of the test, but are actively sought by a practitioner, should be called “secondary findings.” Id. (PCSBI Report, at 28).Similarly, others argue that “actively looked for incidental findings constitute a new category of data” and prefer the term “nonincidental secondary findings.” Anastasova, V.et al, “Genomic Incidental Findings: Reducing the Burden to Be Fair,” American Journal of Bioethics 13 (2013): 52–54, at 52, n.2. The present article refers to actively sought, but non-primary target genomic findings, as “secondary targets”.CrossRefGoogle Scholar

Frankel, T., “Fiduciary Law,” California Law Review 71, no. 3(1983): 795–836, at 795; The present article offers a perspective of the physician as a fiduciary grounded in trust, agency, and health law. Still, others describe the physician as a “moral fiduciary of the patient ” and state that the moral foundations of the physician as a fiduciary are the virtues of: Self-effacement, self-sacrifice, compassion, and integrity. This view has different implications for the physician-patient relationship and results in the physician playing a more protective role for the patient.Chervenak, F. A. McCullough, L.

In addition, with the advent of electronic health records many questions remain about what information should be included and how genetic information may be protected. The potential inclusion of genetic information in electronic medical records makes information about secondary targets even more material to patient interests given the added risk of privacy breaches for digitally stored information.
