Here is an interesting recommendation which was discussed at a European Commission conference titled "Human genetic testing: what implications?" last week.

Ethnicity and genetics

There may be differences among patients based on their ethnic origin, with respect to genetic testing. Some genetic variants are more common in certain populations or groups. Specific attention should be paid to such groups in the context of developing new tests to ensure fair access and to avoid stigmatisation or stereotyping based on race. Specifically, genetic tests must never be used to determine ethnicity.
