At the outset, I should note that Professor George Davey Smith has key responsibility for the genomics section of this complex project. I have the greatest respect for his intellect and intellectual integrity. I have learned immensely from him.
However, I have serious concerns about other personnel involved in this project in terms of their recent conduct as physicians and scientists. Among other issues, the nature of their role in the project needs to be clarified. Conditions need to be in place that they will not use their role to inflict further abuse and bad science on the patient and scientific communities. Other personnel must step in and demonstrate that patients have an appropriate role in the design, implementation, and interpretation of the data published in peer-reviewed journals in a timely fashion. Patients should be heard, welcomed to high-level participation in research, and not just used.
