Development of the Knowledge of Genome Sequencing (KOGS) Questionnaire

Whole-genome sequencing is gradually being incorporated widely into research and clinical care. For whole-genome sequencing to be integrated effectively and safely it is important that individuals make informed choices before consenting. For informed decision-making there are several patient-reported factors [1], of which knowledge is a central component [2]. It is important that measures of knowledge about whole-genome sequencing are available so that healthcare providers can evaluate whether patients are making informed choices about having whole-genome sequencing done.
