We collected information of the following problems by participation to ESHG, ASHG and EAUHGS and document retrieval: 1) Bioethical issues on the personal genome analysis, 2) estimation methods for clinical utility and quality control of genetic testing, 3) Education or reporting methods of genetics or genomics to the public, students, and medical professionals. We translated the following two documents in order to design the Japanese system: 1) UK Genetic Testing Network: Review of commissioning arrangements for genetic services and strategic recommendations, 2) Eurogentest: A standardized framework for the validation and verification of clinical molecular genetic tests.
