A new report on consent and confidentiality in genetic practices
The Royal College of Physicians and the British Society of Human Genetics have joined forces to publish a new report on Consent and confidentiality in genetic practices.
It aims to develop guidance on:
genetic testing ans sharing information,
obtaining consent prior to genetic tests,
regulations for giving and sharing genetic information with family members and between professionals,
genetic investigations on stored human tissues.
It comes timely with the highly sensitive debates on genetics and ethics that arises with the adoption of the 7th Framework Programme for Research 2007-2013.
