When a genetic disease-causing variant causing autosomal dominant diseases is identified, predictive DNA testing is possible for at-risk relatives to investigate whether they are carrying the familial variant. In current practice, the proband is asked to inform at-risk relatives, often supported by a family letter. This review summarizes the literature on preferences of probands and relatives regarding how and by whom at-risk relatives should be informed. A search involving digital databases (Pubmed, Medline, and PsycInfo) focusing on patient attitudes toward informing relatives at risk of autosomal dominant onco-, cardio-, or neurogenetic disease, resulted in 1,431 screened records, of which 117 full-text papers were assessed. Eventually, ...
