As part of its work on setting standards and establishing guidelines for nutrigenomics research, the European Nutrigenomics Organisation (NuGO) is developing bioethical guidelines for those engaged in human nutrigenomics studies. A NuGO working group developed a set of draft guidelines addressing four areas: (1) information and consenting prior to a nutrigenomics study; (2) the generation and use of genotype information; (3) the establishment and maintenance of biobanks; (4) the exchange of samples and data. NuGO convened a workshop with a panel of invited external experts to assess the draft guidelines. The panel of experts confirmed that these areas are important and that the development of specific bioethical guidelines for nutrigenomics research would therefore enhance the application of established international guidelines in this field of biomedical research.
作为其为营养基因组学研究制定标准和准则工作的一部分，欧洲营养基因组学组织（NuGO）正在为从事人类营养基因组学研究的人员制定生物伦理准则。一个NuGO工作组制定了一套准则草案，涉及四个领域：（1）营养基因组学研究前的信息与知情同意；（2）基因信息的生成与使用；（3）生物样本库的建立与维护；（4）样本与数据的交换。NuGO举办了一次研讨会，邀请了外部专家小组对准则草案进行评估。专家小组确认这些领域很重要，因此为营养基因组学研究制定具体的生物伦理准则将加强既定国际准则在这一生物医学研究领域的应用。
