DE VRIES, J  y  MUNUNG, N S. Ethical considerations in genomic research in South Africa. SAMJ, S. Afr. med. j. [online]. 2019, vol.109, n.6, pp.375-377. ISSN 2078-5135.  https://doi.org/10.7196/samj.2019.vl09i6.14067.

We provide an overview of the current debates on some of these issues and pointers for further reading.
