abstract = {Although it is generally agreed that the perspectives of
patients should be included in decision-making about genomic
data, patients rarely have a significant role in the
governance of genomic data archives (GDAs). Guidance on the
successful implementation of patient involvement (PI) in the
governance of GDAs is lacking. This study explores the
perspectives of German patients on PI in the governance of
GDAs and how these perspectives can be implemented to have
an impact on governance.We conducted 2 online deliberative
forums with 26 members of the cancer and rare diseases (RD)
communities in Germany. The forums were analyzed
qualitatively. The findings were discussed in a follow-up
dialogue event with 17 of the participants and 9 members of
a GDA (The German Human Genome-Phenome Archive, GHGA) (n =
26). Two patient coresearchers were involved in all phases
of the study.Five themes were identified: (a) motivations
for PI; (b) concerns about PI; (c) areas of governance in
which PI is required; (d) resources necessary for
implementation of PI; and (e) the form PI should take.For PI
in GDAs to be meaningful, patient perspectives on the
specific contextual aspects of GDAs should be actively
sought. Patients' views on representation affect what form
of PI they prefer and whether they experience the
representation as legitimate. We discuss how the suggestions
from the participants of this study were taken up in the
governance policy of the GHGA.},
