Abstract:
Rapid progress in human genetic research has identified not only the entire DNA sequence of human genome DNA but the information on an individual risk to a hereditary disease or common diseases. Although individual genetic information will help to establish development of disease prevention method or better new therapeutic procedure, it will also raise quite a few ethical issues. Here, recent research progress on this field and corresponding regulatory procedures by professionals and governmental (Japan and other countries)/intergovernmental body are discussed.
