These Regulations replace the Human Organ Transplants (Establishment of Relationship) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1990 which are revoked. These Regulations provide that the genetic relationship between the proposed living donor of an organ and the proposed recipient is to be established by means of genetic tests based on DNA variations. The tests are to be specified and their results interpreted by a person approved by the Department of Health and Social Services as competent to do so and that person is then to state in writing whether he is satisfied that the claimed genetic relationship between the donor and the recipient is established.
