Bowen L, Devlin K, Guidry-Grimes L, Milner G, Solomon M, Tolchin D, et al.
Teach Learn Med . 2025 Feb; :1-17. PMID: 39964131
The healthcare workforce in the United States does not provide the same standard of care for people with disabilities as for nondisabled people. Many academic medical institutions do not routinely...

Meyer M, Papageorge N, Parens E, Regenberg A, Sugarman J, Thom K
Am J Hum Genet . 2024 May; 111(5):833-840. PMID: 38701744
Some commercial firms currently sell polygenic indexes (PGIs) to individual consumers, despite their relatively low predictive power. It might be tempting to assume that because the predictive power of many...

Martschenko D, Callier S, Garrison N, Lee S, Turley P, Meyer M, et al.
Hastings Cent Rep . 2023 Apr; 53 Suppl 1:S50-S65. PMID: 37079856
Bioethicists frequently call for empirical researchers to engage participants and community members in their research, but don't themselves typically engage community members in their normative research. In this article, we...

Meyer M, Appelbaum P, Benjamin D, Callier S, Comfort N, Conley D, et al.
Hastings Cent Rep . 2023 Apr; 53 Suppl 1:S2-S49. PMID: 37078667
In this consensus report by a diverse group of academics who conduct and/or are concerned about social and behavioral genomics (SBG) research, the authors recount the often-ugly history of scientific...

Ann Intern Med . 2023 Mar; 176(4):563-567. PMID: 36972543
Interpretation of many genetic test results can change over time as new data accumulate. Hence, physicians who order genetic tests may subsequently receive revised reports with important implications for patients'...

Genet Med . 2023 Feb; 25(5):100801. PMID: 36748709

Appelbaum P, Burke W, Parens E, Zeevi D, Arbour L, Garrison N, et al.
Am J Hum Genet . 2022 Jun; 109(6):981-988. PMID: 35659933
The underrepresentation of non-European ancestry groups in current genomic databases complicates interpretation of their genetic test results, yielding a much higher prevalence of variants of uncertain significance (VUSs). Such VUS...

Burke W, Parens E, Chung W, Berger S, Appelbaum P
Ann Intern Med . 2022 Apr; 175(7):994-1000. PMID: 35436152
Genomic tests expand diagnostic and screening opportunities but also identify genetic variants of uncertain clinical significance (VUSs). Only a minority of VUSs are likely to prove pathogenic when later reassessed,...

Goering S, Klein E, Specker Sullivan L, Wexler A, Aguera Y Arcas B, Bi G, et al.
Neuroethics . 2021 May; 14(3):365-386. PMID: 33942016
Advancements in novel neurotechnologies, such as brain computer interfaces (BCI) and neuromodulatory devices such as deep brain stimulators (DBS), will have profound implications for society and human rights. While these...
