Protección de datos personales en el ámbito sanitario y de investigación biomédica: : Una visión europea
2021
In the field of biomedical and health research, processing data represents opportunities to generate knowledge, to threat diseases and to improve people?s quality of life. However, these advantages provided by new digital technologies, such as Big Data, can have an impact on people?s fundamental rights if they are not clearly defined and protected. This study addresses the range of rights that subjects have in relation to the processing of their health data, whether -personal, pseudonymised or anonymised data-, within the framework of the EU Regulation and the Spanish Data Protection Act.
Identifying gene-environment interactions in schizophrenia: contemporary challenges for integrated, large-scale investigations
2014
European Community Recent years have seen considerable progress in epidemiological and molecular genetic research into environmental and genetic factors in schizophrenia, but methodological uncertainties remain with regard to validating environmental exposures, and the population risk conferred by individual molecular genetic variants is small. There are now also a limited number of studies that have investigated molecular genetic candidate gene-environment interactions (G x E), however, so far, thorough replication of findings is rare and G x E research still faces several conceptual and methodological challenges. in this article, we aim to review these recent developments and illustrate h…
