About the Issues The play Informed Consent tells a fictional story but deals with two very real and controversial issues in genetic research and clinical care. First, what type of informed consent is necessary for research with stored specimens, such as blood or tissue? The current federal regulations permit research on stored specimens without the consent of the donor if the specimens are de-identified— that is, names and other information that would immediately identify an individual person are removed from the samples. However, deidentified specimens might still retain information about the donor’s race, ethnic group, or tribe. The Havasupai Tribal Case, which has been widely discussed by researchers around the country, is the basis for some of the issues explored in Informed Consent. Because of these discussions, Institutional Review Boards, which monitor all research involving humans, have become very sensitive to the risk of stigmatizing social groups. Federal regulations governing research are currently under revision, and there are likely to be stricter requirements for consent for research with stored specimens. Second, when is it appropriate to do genetic testing on children for conditions that have their onset during adulthood? The tradition among physicians and researchers has been to discourage testing children for conditions that don’t emerge until adulthood. In general, the standard has been to allow the child to mature and make that decision when they become an adult. This is certainly not a hard-and-fast rule, but there should be a clear justification for such testing when there are no treatment or prevention options available during childhood.
