description <p dir="ltr">The application of whole genome/exome sequencing technologies in clinical genetics and research has resulted in the discovery of incidental findings unrelated to the primary purpose of genetic testing. The American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics published guidelines for reporting pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants that are deemed to be medically actionable, which allowed us to learn about the epidemiology of incidental findings in different populations. However, consensus guidelines for variant reporting and classification are still lacking. We conducted a systematic literature review of incidental findings in whole genome/exome sequencing studies to obtain a comprehensive understanding of variable reporting and classification methods for variants that are deemed to be medically actionable across different populations. The review highlights the elements that demand further consideration or adjustment.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Physiological Genomics<br>License: <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1152/physiolgenomics.00025.2021" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1152/physiolgenomics.00025.2021</a></p>
