Human genetic resources are irreplaceable resources for health related research. China's abundant human genetic resources have important value. At present, the United States has established a relatively complete human genetic resources management system, and formulated clear guidelines in important management links, to ensure individual privacy security and national biological security while maximizing the development and utilization of resources. Basing on the research and analysis of the current situation of human genetic resources management in the United States, this paper puts forward some suggestions on the management of human genetic resources in China, so as to provide decision-making reference for improving the protection of human genetic resources in China, promoting the development and utilization of human genetic resources, and achieving the balance between supervision and innovation.
