Abstract
Advances in genomics have led to the research, development and implementation of personalised medicine. In order to balance the protection of individual rights and the enjoyment of the benefits of genome science, it is necessary to formulate rules for the handling of genetic information, particularly in the workplace. This article shares the current situation in Japan and describes a hypothetical case study dealing with a worker with a genetic predisposition to cancer.
