Locus-specific databases: from ethical principles to practice.

Human mutation - 1 Nov 2005

Cotton Richard G H, Sallée Clémentine, Knoppers Bartha M

Abstract excerpt

Locus-specific databases (LSDBs) play an essential role in clinical care and research. They differ from traditional genetic databases in that they propose to place the mutations of "anonymized" patients directly on the World Wide Web. The proliferation of ethical guidelines and legal requirements affects the rapid and free transmission of clinical data, which is vital for both the daily management of patients and...
