[Ethical issues in relation to genetic analysis research].
On April 2000, the so-called Millennium project which was launched by Japanese Government has started. Genetic research is one of the important subject in this project. Since there has been no official guideline for ethical issues in relation to genetic analysis research, Ministry of Health and Welfare arranged a special committee to prepare such a guideline. The process and key points of this guideline which has been published on April 2000 by Ministry of Health and Welfare was described.
