consentimiento PG

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general)
This is a correspondence about a clinical trial. They have previously referred to consent forms, now they are talking about consentimiento PG, and I´m not sure what the PG refers to.

acronyms -- @ neilmac I've seen your comments about not doing acronyms many times. In my view, it's nothing to brag about. I consider it part of my job to make a reasonable effort to translate acronyms ... there are lots of useful online resources (chiefly cosnautas) for medical acronyms, and there is ProZ, as in this case. It does take more time to research them, and still I think it's what I'm responsible for. I'll say "unknown acronym" without feeling guilty after I've tried all the resources available.
Dr Jane Marshall (asker) Mar 26, 2015:
Thanks everyone for your input, it was definitely helpful to hear others´opinions. In the end I left it as PG consent with a note that I thought they were referring to pharmacogenetic consent (I found another webiste, related to clinical trials-in India-that mentioned pharmacogenetic consent) but that it could equally be a different type of consent/consent form. If I get any feedback from the agency I´ll post it here for interests sake! Thanks again.
neilmac Mar 26, 2015:
This is why I don't "do" acronyms. In my collaboration terms and conditions, the clients using them MUST define them a priori, otherwise they are left as is. It saves me lots of time, which is better spent on other tasks.
Elizabeth Joy Pitt de Morales Mar 25, 2015:
I haven't seen "PharmacoGenetic" in reference to consents in other clinical trial translations I have done, but it's not one of my main fields, either. However, I don't see anything in the docs I found on that web page -- and I've found the translated web page at

http://www.ins.gob.pe/ensayosclinicos/rpec/recuperarECPBNuev...

that mentions either genetic or pharmacogenetic testing. In fact, I don't find "consentimiento pg" anywhere but in the page for this trial, but it's been many years since I worked in clinical trials, and never in this particular field.

Very puzzling, indeed.

I think I'd consult the client.

I think it may be from the English PharmacoGenetic...
Dr Jane Marshall (asker) Mar 25, 2015:
That´s a good point Elizabeth. I had had a look at that page before but didn´t click with that.
Elizabeth Joy Pitt de Morales Mar 25, 2015:
I think I've found the Peruvian government's page with the info on the clinical trial http://www.ins.gob.pe/ensayosclinicos/rpec/recuperarECPBNuev...

and I find both

Formulario de Consentimiento Informado Principal

AND

Consentimiento PG principal para adultos en inglés de fecha

which leads me to believe that "principal" does not apply to "PG"
Dr Jane Marshall (asker) Mar 25, 2015:
The study is about asthma treatment
Dr Jane Marshall (asker) Mar 25, 2015:
Yes, these letters are used a few times but always in a similar context eg "HOja de información de la evaluación farmacogenética e inminológica de la respuesta a tratamiento y formulario de consentamiento para pacientes o padres/tutores legales de niño ...(file/version number).... Traducido al Epsañol para Peru (date). Consentimiento PG principal para adultos en inglés de fecha (date). "
And that´s the eng of the paragraph. Also has the same for "asentimineto PG principal" in similar context.

"En el presente trabajo se hace una reflexión sobre los principios éticos que fundamentan la toma del CI para la realización de PG y cómo nuestra sociedad ha plasmado en forma de regulaciones legales la protección de los valores éticos y de la dignidad y derechos fundamentales de los individuos con relación a las PG y a la información genética: Ley 14/2007 de 3 de julio de Investigación Biomédica. Como conclusiones se proponen 3 modelos de DCI: para la realización de PG en el contexto asistencial, con un consentimiento adicional en el caso de que el laboratorio clínico desee guardar las muestras excedentes para futuros usos en investigación y para un proyecto de investigación que incluya PG."

Cinnamon Nolan Mar 25, 2015:
@ Dr Marshall The 1st thing I thought of was "Main page" (Página principal), but that would be in English, as Neil pointed out, and there would be a preposition missing... Does "PG" occur anywhere else in the document?
Although it's true that original documents can have all kinds of errors... Is the rest of the document well written? Do English abbreviations or acronyms appear elsewhere?
Elizabeth Joy Pitt de Morales Mar 25, 2015:
But it's for adults, so I don't see why a parent or guardian would sign it unless the subject was incompetent...

I wonder if I´m complicating it and it just means "pagina"...

PG consent

Jumping in late with my contribution: PG stands for pharmacogenetic or pharmacogenomic as you correctly guessed, Jane.

I translate a lot of these documents. Usually it's written out in full:
"Consentimiento Informado Farmacogenético".

Pharmacogenetic/pharmacogenomic is used interchangeably, even within the same document sometimes. Luckily the abbreviation is the same.

El documento de consentimiento informado para la realización de pruebas genéticas en el ámbito asistencial y en proyectos de investigación

Resumen

Las pruebas genéticas (PG) proporcionan resultados que son para toda la vida y que tienen implicaciones no solo para el individuo sino para la familia, debiendo ir siempre acompañadas de consejo genético. Una de las herramientas que contribuye a que las PG se desarrollen en un entorno apropiado es el documento de consentimiento informado (DCI). El consentimiento informado (CI) tomado por el facultativo que prescribe la prueba es un medio para garantizar el acceso libre e informado y para que la persona entienda el propósito de la misma y las implicaciones de los resultados, así como para garantizar su derecho a recibir el consejo genético, ya que le da la oportunidad de hacer preguntas y también de manifestar su derecho a decidir qué información quiere conocer y cuál no quiere conocer en cualquier momento del proceso.

En el presente trabajo se hace una reflexión sobre los principios éticos que fundamentan la toma del CI para la realización de PG y cómo nuestra sociedad ha plasmado en forma de regulaciones legales la protección de los valores éticos y de la dignidad y derechos fundamentales de los individuos con relación a las PG y a la información genética: Ley 14/2007 de 3 de julio de Investigación Biomédica. Como conclusiones se proponen 3 modelos de DCI: para la realización de PG en el contexto asistencial, con un consentimiento adicional en el caso de que el laboratorio clínico desee guardar las muestras excedentes para futuros usos en investigación y para un proyecto de investigación que incluya PG.

Peer comments on this reference comment:
neutral Diplomonde : Given that the document states ("para adultos") I draw the conclusion that in this instance the document is making a reference to an informed parental consent form: ("Parental Guidance") No different than as in the movie rating PG 13.
