Currently, a significant part of research in the fields of human and medical genetics is carried out using tissue samples, genealogical, population, medical and personal data. Their use is of particular relevance in the “genome era”, since only joint analysis of genomic data and health status of the population is crucial for understanding how genes are associated with health and disease. Genetic studies of adults without symptoms of diseases are carried out to obtain data on a possible predisposition to multifactorial diseases, to establish the carrier status of autosomal recessive mutations as part of preconception care and to assess individual sensitivity to drugs. In addition, healthy individuals can be tested to detect an inherited disease at presymptomatic stage. This situation increasingly emphasizes the importance of storing data on genome sequencing or any other patient tests for subsequent data reanalysis, as well as their safety, including biosamples from an individual and one’s family. The review article, based on international experience, summarizes guidelines for genetic testing of healthy individuals. The options for storing biological samples and related data are considered.

The aim of this study was to asses hepatoxicity of riamilovir with repeated administration on the animal model. Materials and methods. Twenty non-linear guinea pigs were randomized into 4 groups: control and three experimental, receiving 64 days of daily riamilovir orally in doses of 48, 96, 144 mg/kg. Biochemical profile: ALT, AST, GGT, total protein, total and direct bilirubins, albumin, cholesterol, triglycerides: on 0, 33 and 65 days from the start of the experiment. Results. A significant decrease of serum albumin and cholesterol levels was found only in group 2 and there were no statistically significant changes of other indicators. Conclusion. The data obtained indicate afunctional liver synthetic function changes without signs of hepatobiliary and hepatocellular damage.
