Genomic privacy and limits of individual detection in a pool.

Nature genetics - 1 Sept 2009

Sankararaman Sriram, Obozinski Guillaume, Jordan Michael I, Halperin Eran

Abstract excerpt

Recent studies have demonstrated that statistical methods can be used to detect the presence of a single individual within a study group based on summary data reported from genome-wide association studies (GWAS). We present an analytical and empirical study of the statistical power of such method...
