The article about the design and pilot study for return of genomic results in Tohoku Medical Megabank (TMM) Project cohort study was published on the Journal of Human Genetics.

TMM Project has genome cohort studies of general residents. Since 2016, we are conducting a pilot study of return of genomic results to participants which is the first project in the fields of cohort studies in Japan. The article includes a discussion and framework for return of genomic results and results from familial hypercholesterolemia as a target disease for the first pilot study.
