Abstract

Genomics resources that use samples from identified populations raise scientific, social and ethical issues that are, in many ways, inextricably linked. Scientific decisions about which populations to sample to produce the HapMap, an international genetic vadation resource, have raised questions about the relationships between the social identities used to recruit participants and the biological findings of studies that will use the HapMap. The sometimes problematic implications of those complex relationships have led to questions about how to conduct genetic variation research that uses identified populations in an ethical way, including how to involve members of a population in evaluating the risks and benefits posed for everyone who shares that identity. The ways in which these issues are linked is increasingly drawing the scientific and ethical spheres of genomics research closer together.

Fundamental Principles of Research on the Human Genome [online], <http://www.mext.go.jp/a_menu/ shinkou/shisaku/principles.htm> (2000). Funding Information: The Populations/ELSI Group was given responsibility for two interrelated scientific and ethical questions: how to sample human genetic variation to identify common haplotypes, and whether to name the populations from which the donors came. Initially, Group members were from the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States — the initial countries that gave financial support to the Project. After Japan and China had secured financial support, both the Methods Group and the Populations/ELSI Group were succeeded by new groups with members from each participating country. Funding Information: Each genotyping centre has been assigned particular chromosomal regions to genotype in all four sets of samples. Researchers in three of the countries where samples were collected or where re-consent was obtained (that is, Japan, China and the United States) will benefit by participating in the genotyping. Also, the sample collection that took place in each country was supported by funding agencies in that country, except for Nigeria, where that work was funded by the NHGRI; although local investigators engaged the community and collected the samples, no local investigators will be involved in the genotyping. See BOX 4 for a discussion of why, given these circumstances, it was appropriate to collect samples in Nigeria.
