Sharing extended summary data from contemporary genetics studies is unlikely to threaten subject privacy.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2017

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Starting from a forensic problem, Homer et al. showed that it was possible to detect if an individual contributes only 0.5% of the DNA in a pool. The finding was extended to prove the possibility of detecting whether a subject participated in a small homogeneous GWAS. We denote this as the detection of a subject belonging to a certain cohort (SBCC). Subsequently, Visscher and Hill showed that the...
