Policy Committee
Erin Payne
Policy Committee – Year in Review
Submission of our first policy to APHA Received a wide variety of comments – mainly too broad
Subsequent revision process Refined the scope Updated to the new policy format
Currently under Genomics Forum Membership review Review today during breakout sessions
Plans for 2009-2010 Genetic Health Literacy Submission
Likely February 2010
Additional policies for submission Personalized Medicine? Others?
New Committee Leadership Heather Honoré – new chair New co-chair?
Breakout session Review of current Genetic Health Literacy
policy draft Comment sheets to Erin Payne (me!)
Interest in personalized medicine? Who can lead this policy process? Student mentorship a good model
Other Committee goals for 2009-2010

ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY ON GENE-ENVIRONMENT INTERACTIONS
•17 annotations
•No unified framework
•Chance, bias, confounding, causality
•Consensus development
•Policy brief
November, 2009
GENE-ENVIRONMENT RELATIONSHIPS
1. Epigenetic effects on genes
2. Environmental effects on heritability
3. Gene-environment correlation (liability to environmental exposure)
4. Gene-environment interaction (sensitivity to environments)
5. Epistasis -- environment
Small group discussion
Discussion questions (also, see agenda)
• What should be the priorities and goals for the Genomics Forum committees in 2010?
– Program: What might be topic areas to include in the call for abstracts? Are there special sessions / speakers you’d like to see?
– Policy: Review Genomic Health Literacy Proposal; ideas for future policies– Membership and Communications: Tools and resources developed this year include: New
website with blog, work space, member directory and profiles; Stakeholder list. How can we best use these membership and communications tools we’ve developed? How can we maximize the effectiveness of our outreach?
– Special Projects: Is there interest in new working groups? What would the topics be? How would you get started?
– Topic-focused Working Groups• Gene x Environment: Review and next steps• Healthcare Policy: Review and next steps
• How can this committee’s work support your own goals and the goals of your organization? How can you support the committee’s work?
