Genomic Medicine and Policy

Dear Colleagues,

The rapid development of genomic technologies has generated important questions for policy makers, health system leaders, laboratories, clinicians, patients, and the public. The Journal of Personalized Medicine aims to publish a collection of articles that explore the legal, ethical and economic challenges and opportunities of the field and provide fresh insights to ongoing discussions and debate in genomic medicine. We will consider original research, systematic reviews, and well-designed case studies and analyses that report empirical work that presents experiences and perspectives from the US and abroad.

The included topics in the issue are:

• Policy analyses of genomic medicine, including data privacy and sharing of results
• Ethical frameworks for genomic information disclosure, such as the disclosure of secondary findings in pediatric populations
• Comparative effectiveness of genomic medicine
• Economic evaluations of genomic medicine, including methods and challenges
• Implementation of genomic medicine in diverse health care settings, including methods and challenges
• Pricing, coverage and reimbursement of genomic medicine
