Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Large-scale genetic data sets are frequently shared with other research groups and even released on the Internet to allow for secondary analysis. Study participants are usually not informed about such data sharing because data sets are assumed to be anonymous after stripping off personal identifiers. DISCUSSION: The assumption of anonymity of genetic data sets, however, is tenuous because genetic data...
