Development of a construct-based risk assessment framework for genetic engineered crops


The Government of Argentina recently issued a guideline for a simplified assessment of for risk assessment of events transformed with ‘‘identical or essentially similar constructs.’’ ILSI Argentina convened a working group of experts from academia, government, and industry to evaluate the science supporting the approach for assessing GE crops developed with genetic constructs identical or similar to those used in previously evaluated or approved GE crops.

This paper summarizes the working group’s work.
