Taking into account your medical situation, some of the examinations are considered as standard hospital care. Your treating physician will be informed of the results.
Your body material/data may also give rise to new insights in future scientific research, both in general and for your next of kin.
Feedback on general scientific findings
General scientific
findings and new insights such as publications can be made available on
websites of the above-mentioned neurology departments and the IBB. This
overview of findings does not contain any identifying data, but is important
for the rapid dissemination of scientific findings within the research
community.
Feedback on individual scientific findings
Individual scientific
findings are results that were discovered during a specific research project
and that are potentially important for your general health or that of your
offspring. These are also called incidental findings.
If such scientifically validated and clinically relevant findings could lead to either therapeutic or preventive actions regarding your health status or that of your next of kin, feedback may be provided to you. If you agree to have your next of kin informed, you can indicate this on the Informed Consent Form. Your doctor will then discuss the findings with you or your next of kin.
