In FY 2011, the Secretary’s Advisory Committee on Genetics, Health, and Society (SACGHS) completed its work on behalf of the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). Its mandate related to the HHS mission of enhancing the health and well-being of Americans and, more specifically, to HHS strategic goals of improving the safety, quality, affordability and accessibility of health care and advancing scientific and biomedical research and development related to health.SACGHS explored, analyzed, and deliberated on the broad range of policy needs associated with the scientific, clinical, public health, ethical, economic, legal and social issues raised by the development, use, and potential misuse of genetic and genomic technologies and made recommendations to the HHS Secretary and others upon request. The following topics were SACGHS priorities: the clinical utility of genetic and genomic technologies; consumer-initiated genomic services; coverage and reimbursement of genetic tests and services; genetics education and training; genetics and the future of the health care system; informed consent, privacy, and discrimination related to genomic data sharing; and public health genomics. Health disparities were considered across all of the other priority topics, and genetic discrimination, oversight of genetic testing, and gene patents and licensing were of ongoing interest.
