INFORMATION SHEET Birth to Twenty participants

Re-consenting around historical blood and DNA samples

Historical blood samples You have been a part of the Birth to Twenty cohort since 1990, now over 20 years. We have collected data on the Birth to Twenty participants at 16 time points. At some of these time points you provided consent for us to collect blood samples from you to test for health indicators such as blood sugar (glucose), cholesterol, vitamin D, calcium, etc. These blood samples are stored at the University of the Witwatersrand with only a unique number identifier so your name is not attached to the sample. The information linking you name to the unique number identifier is locked away in the study offices with strict access control and is not made available to the people working on your blood sample.

In the future we may run additional tests on the stored blood samples, but we will not do so without the approval of the Human Research Ethics Committee of the University of the Witwatersrand. Historical DNA samples From the blood samples we collected from you in 2003/2004 you consented to us extracting DNA (the inherited material in your cells) so that this DNA could be used for studies that look for genes/changes in DNA that are involved in causing diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular diseases, and for studies to understand how the DNA works (we call this epigenetic studies). DNA studies give us information about how your body works and also whether you are more likely to get certain conditions or diseases. It will also tell us about your ancestry (your family) and about the way that your body uses medications (we call this pharmacogenetics). Just as for the blood samples, all DNA samples are stored in a safe place at the University of the Witwatersrand and strict control access. If at some future date we realize there are other studies that we would like to carry out on your DNA samples, such tests would only be performed if permission is given to us by the Human Research Ethics Committee of the University of the Witwatersrand. Your identity will be anonymous as your sample will be identified by a number (as described above). Blood and DNA sample management The scientists who do the research will generate information (data) which will be placed in databases. Some of the information in the databases will be shared with other scientists, possibly around the world. These scientists will not have access to your name and therefore the data will not be linked back to you. It is possible that we may send small amounts of the DNA out of the country where tests will be done that we cannot easily do in South Africa, but that would give us valuable information for our studies. Benefits The discoveries that come from the studies on your DNA will not be of direct benefit to you and will not be communicated back to you. The discoveries may lead to information that will help us in the future to diagnoses disease, understand who is most likely to get ill and how different people behave when they are given medication. The DNA belongs to you and we are the keepers of the DNA. You may withdraw your sample at any time. Risks Since the DNA of every person is different, it is possible that if someone tested your blood and compared it to the data in the databases, they could conclude that the two samples come from the same person. However, this is unlikely given the procedures in place that protect your samples.

CONSENT SHEET

The information around the blood and DNA samples taken from me in the past is clear and that the purpose is for me to inform the study what they can or cannot do with these samples. I acknowledge that all procedure/tests on the stored blood and DNA samples have been or will be approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee of the University of the Witwatersrand.

YES NO I am in agreement that my DNA may be stored and used for the purposes described above.

YES NO I am in agreement that the data generated from my DNA may be made available in a public domain without any identifiers.

YES NO I agree that a small bit of my DNA may be sent out of the country if the research cannot easily be done in South Africa.

YES NO I understand that every time a new study is done on my DNA, permission will be obtained from the ethics committee for the study to make sure that it is used only for the purposes stated above.

YES NO I understand that I will not benefit directly from the research done on my DNA.

YES NO I understand that I may withdraw from the study at any time.

The Chair Human Ethics Research Committee University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg Dear Professor Cleaton-Jones,

Re-consenting Birth to Twenty cohort participants around historical blood and DNA samples

When Birth to Ten transitioned to Birth to Twenty and the Bt20 cohort and the Bone Health sub-cohort was formed, the HERC approved protocols that entailed the collection of blood and DNA samples for the analyses linked to non-communicable disease (obesity, bone health, diabetes, etc). The participants are now 21 years of age and we wish to re-consent them around the management and use of biological samples collected. Below are the information and consent sheets. We are asking the participants to consent to the following:

• I acknowledge that all procedure/tests on the stored blood and DNA samples have been or will be approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee of the University of the Witwatersrand.

• I understand that every time a new study is done on my DNA, permission will be obtained from the ethics committee for the study to make sure that it is used appropriately.

• I am in agreement that my DNA may be stored and used for the purposes described. • I am in agreement that the data generated from my DNA may be made available in a

public domain without any identifiers. • I agree that a small bit of my DNA may be sent out of the country if the research

cannot easily be done in South Africa. • I understand that I will not benefit directly from the research done on my DNA. • I understand that I may withdraw from the study at any time.

We piloted the re-consent procedure with 10 biological parents of the Bt20 cohort. The re-consent procedure included:

• Power-Point on genetics and core concepts presented by a masters-level research assistant in both English and Zulu.

• Question & Answer session. • Information sheet distributed and discussed as a group. • Question & Answer session. • Individual consent in private with a trained research assistant.

The response from the pilot study was extremely positive. The participants understood and appreciated the presentation; they understood the information sheet and 100% consented to all of the points above. I seek permission from the HERC to approve the re-consent documents and procedure. Shane Norris
