The American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) recommends that mutations in 56 genes for 24 conditions are clinically actionable, and should be reported as secondary findings after whole genome sequencing (WGS). Our aim was to identify published economic evaluations of detecting mutations in the general population or in targeted/high-risk populations in these genes and conditions and identify gaps in knowledge. A targeted PUBMED search from 1994 through November 2014 was performed and we included original articles reporting cost-effectiveness or cost-utility ratio or net benefits/benefit-cost focused on screening (not treatment) for ACMG listed conditions and genes in English. Articles were screened, classified as targeting a high-risk or general population, and abstracted by two reviewers. General population studies were evaluated for actual cost-effectiveness measures (e.g. ICER) while targeted populations studies were evaluated for whether at least one scenario proposed was cost-effective (e.g. ICER of ≤ $100,000 per life-year (LY) or quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) gained). A total of 607 studies were identified and 32 relevant studies were included. Identified studies addressed less than one third (7 of 24, 29%) of the AMCG conditions. The cost-effectiveness of screening in the general population was examined in only 2 of 24 (8%) conditions. The cost-effectiveness of most genetic findings that the ACMG recommends for return has not been evaluated in economic studies or in the context of screening in the general population. The individual studies do not directly address the cost-effectiveness of WGS.
