The Scope of State Genomic Registration Institution

Abstract

The article explores the concept, goals and foundations of the state genomic registration in the context of the limitations of the scope of this institution. Pointing to the broad interpretation by the legislator of the concept of «state genomic registration», the author reveals the main directions of narrowing of the field of use of the registration mode (first of all, the target and subject plan); this draws attention to the need to establish a clear correlation between the institute of state genomic registration with other forms of accounting for genomic information, as well as the planned human genomic passportisation. The subject of special analysis is the problem of the expansion of cases of compulsory genomic registration, including the expediency of identifying the forced registration (as a type of compulsory registration).
