초록

최근, 유전자교정 작물의 상업화 승인 건수가 급속하게 늘어나고 있으며, 국내에서도 유전자교정 작물의 개발에 대한 집중적인 투자를 통하여 국제경쟁력을 높이기 위하여 노력하고 있다. 그러나 기존의 유전자변형작물의 상업화 과정에서 끊임없이 제기되어온 인체 및 환경에 대한 잠재적인 위해성 논란이 유전자교정 작물에 대하여서도 제기되고 있다. 특히, 비의도적 돌연변이(off-target)가 가장 큰 논란의 중심이 되고 있다. 따라서 본 리뷰는 식물이 내포하고 있는 장점인 배수체, 체세포 돌연변이 그리고 자연 상태에서 아그로박테리아의 T-DNA 단편의 수평 전이로 창출된 자연적인 유전자변형작물과 기존에 상업화가 승인된 유전자변형작물 이벤트들의 게놈 내 비의도적 돌연변이 사례 등을 검토한 결과 유전자교정 작물에서 나타나는 대부분의 비의도적 돌연변이는 인체 및 환경에 미칠 수 있는 위해성을 우려할 만한 수준이 아니라고 할 수 있었다. 이에, 유전자교정 작물의 안전성 평가를 위하여 새로운 규정을 제정할 필요가 없으며 기존의 유전자변형작물의 안전 관리규정을 일부 "용어의 정의" 등만 개정하여 적용하면 충분할 것으로 사료 되었다.

The number of commercially approved gene-edited crops is gradually increasing, and in South Korea, it has led to intense investment in gene-edited crop development to increase international competitiveness. However, as with genetically modified crops, the safety of gene-edited crops regarding unexpected risks for humans and the environment is subject to an ongoing debate. In particular, unintentional "off-target effects" have become the center of controversy. In this review, we discuss typical plant characteristics (including somatic variation and ploidy), the extent of various off-target effects in genetically modified crops generated via horizontal transfer in nature, and the off-target effects in commercial genetically modified crops. We conclude that most off-target effects possibly occurring in gene-edited crops are not expected to be critically harmful to humans or the environment. Therefore, existing regulation for genetically modified crops should be enough for the risk assessment of gene-edited crops.
