Objective-To determine the attitudes, practices, and experiences of investigators and journals with respect to privacy and confidentiality concerns in the publication of pedigrees. Design. - Investigators who have published pedigrees and editors of 26 biomedical joumals were surveyed. Joumals were reviewed for content in their "information for authors" sections and for documentation of informed consent in articles containing pedigrees. Outcome Measures-Practices regarding confidentiality and privacy reported by investigators and editors. Results-Of 226 surveys sent to investigators, 177 were returned (78% response rate). Sixty-one investigators (36%) stated that family members were not informed that their pedigree would be published ; 131 (78%) do not obtain informed consent specifically for pedigree publication and only 12 (28%) of the 43 who obtained consent obtained consent from all family members depicted.
