    Abstract We describe a rare case of intraosseous sarcoidosis initially presenting as peri-implantitis, perform a review and analysis of 27 cases of intraosseous sarcoidosis, and provide a clinical review of this condition. We searched the literature for patients presenting with intraosseous sarcoidosis of the jaw through June 2020 using key phrases. Additional papers were included via a search of references and citing papers. Data including patient demographic characteristics and diagnostic tests were manually extracted from the cases and then qualitatively coded by the authors. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed to elucidate general themes and characteristics. A total of 27 cases, dating as early as 1943 and as recent as this case, were identified in the literature, including our case. The average age of these patients was 39 years old, with a range of 16 to 75 years. Eighteen (67%) cases were identified as female and nine (33%) as male. Fourteen cases were reported with localized mandibular involvement. Ten had maxillary disease; 3 cases were generalized to both regions. Nine cases presented anteriorly, 12 posteriorly, and 6 extended across both regions. Eight patients received surgical interventions, such as tooth extractions or lesion removal. Five patients received nonsurgical interventions, such as steroids. Ten patients received combination therapy, often involving surgical intervention and steroid therapy. Our patient had an unusual presentation of intraosseous sarcoidosis mimicking peri-implantitis. To our knowledge, no case in the English literature describes a patient with sarcoidosis presenting with peri-implantitis. Based on the literature review and analysis of our patient's experience, sarcoidosis should be considered on the differential diagnosis for patients with persistent, nonhealing bony lesions in the maxillofacial region, particularly when patients have not been exposed to osteoclast inhibitory therapy or radiation. Pathologic analysis of bone and surrounding tissue in these scenarios is essential.

    Abstract As pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing increases in popularity, lay concepts of drug-gene interactions set the stage for shared decision making in precision medicine. Few studies explore what recipients of PGx results think is happening in their bodies when a drug-gene interaction is discovered. To characterize biobank participants' understanding of PGx research results, we conducted a focus group study, which took place after PGx variants conferring increased risk of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) deficiency were disclosed to biobank contributors. DPD deficiency confers an increased risk of adverse reaction to commonly used cancer chemotherapeutics. Ten focus groups were conducted, ranging from two to eight participants. Fifty-four individuals participated in focus groups. A framework approach was used for descriptive and explanatory analysis. Descriptive themes included participants' efforts to make sense of PGx findings as they related to: (1) health implications, (2) drugs, and (3) genetics. Explanatory analysis supplied a functional framework of how participant word choices can perform different purposes in PGx communication. Results bear three main implications for PGx research-related disclosure. First, participants' use of various terms suggest participants generally understanding their PGx results, including how positive PGx results differ from positive disease susceptibility genetic results. Second, PGx disclosure in biobanking can involve participant conflation of drug-gene interactions with allergies or other types of medical reactions. Third, the functional framework suggests a need to move beyond a deficit model of genetic literacy in PGx communication. Together, findings provide an initial evidence base for supporting bidirectional expert-recipient PGx results communication.

    Abstract Purpose: The aim of the study was to characterize experiences of Latino participants receiving genomic screening results.
    Methods: Participants were recruited at a federally qualified health center in the USA. In-person, semi-structured interviews were conducted in either Spanish or English by a bilingual, bicultural interviewer. Questions focused on motivations for pursuing genomic sequencing, concerns about receiving genomic screening results, and perceived benefits of receiving genomic information. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and translated.
    Results: Fifty individuals completed an interview; 39 were conducted in Spanish. Participants described mixed motivations for pursuing genomic screening. Participants viewed the benefits of genomic screening in relation to not only their personal health but to the health of their families and their communities. Participants tended to have few concerns about genomic screening. Those concerns related to potential loss of privacy, misuses of genomic information, and the possibility of receiving distressing results. Some participants had misunderstandings about the scope of the test and the potential implications of their results. Most felt it was better to know about a genetic predisposition to disease than to remain uninformed. Participants felt that genomic screening was worthwhile.
    Discussion: This is one of the first studies to examine the experiences of Latino individuals receiving genomic screening results. Our results suggest that many Latino patients in the US see value in genomic screening and have limited concerns about its potential to cause harm. These results inform ongoing efforts to increase the availability of genomic medicine to underrepresented populations and add to our understanding of sociocultural drivers in the adoption of precision medicine.
