Human Genetics Commission

The Human Genetics Commission (HGC) is the UK Government's advisory body on how new developments in human genetics will impact on people and on health care. Its remit is to give Ministers strategic advice on the "big picture" of human genetics, with a particular focus on social and ethical issues. It was set up in 1999, following a comprehensive Government review of the regulatory and advisory framework for biotechnology. OSI and UK Health Departments have co-responsibility for HGC's secretariat, which is based in the Department of Health (DH).
