The purpose of genome-medical research is development of diagnosis or treatment for various diseases. On the other hand, if the genomic information is inappropriately used, it would be harmful, because it is unchangeable and it embroils the relatives. We analyzed the three subjects in order to prepare for the new genomics era.1. We proposed the new clinical system for clinical genetics on the basis of experiences in Shinshu University and Kyoto University.2. We collected guidelines, law, or recommendations concerning with ELSI problems of genetic data or genome research, created database, and published on HP.3. We proposed the methods for evaluation of clinical utility of genetic testing.
