This lecture will discuss many of the current issues faced by genetic/genomic researchers including returning research results to subjects, obligations to disclose data-sharing practices (including those required of funding agencies), appropriate counseling/referrals, sample and DNA/RNA banking, and protection of subjects¿ privacy/confidential information.
