The genetic tests in this guideline are as follows.
A test that uses genetic analysis of the human germline to reveal the genetic information an individual has inherently (It includes tests to detect possible human germline mutations.)

We will comply with laws and regulations concerning the protection of personal information, our company guidelines, rules and guidelines, and endeavor to protect personal information when we undertake genetic testing. In addition, when conducting genetic tests, medical institutions will only handle information on subjects anonymized by code or number.

Before conducting a genetic test, it is assumed that the physician at the medical institution fully explains the purpose, method, accuracy, and disclosure method of results of the test to the subject, and obtains the subject's free consent (informed consent). In addition, it is assumed that a medical institution has a genetic counseling system in place before and after genetic counseling is performed.

Specimens received for genetic testing are used only for that test. Specimens used for testing are stored for a specified period of time, and specimens that have passed the storage period are promptly and appropriately disposed of or returned to the facility from which the testing was requested. Specimens will not be distributed to third parties.

Individuals who conduct genetic testing will endeavor to improve their medical knowledge and skills necessary and sufficient to conduct the testing, and to familiarize themselves with relevant laws, regulations, and guidelines in order to deepen their consideration of ethical, legal, and social issues.

When genetic testing is performed, the ethical review board discusses and approves the use of genetic testing with ethical, legal, and social justification. At our company, these issues are discussed by the R & D Ethics Committee.
