Evaluating anonymized genome re-identification using polygenic predictions and its implications for data privacy

2026-06-10

Abstract excerpt

Re-identification by phenotypic prediction aims to determine whether a genome belongs to a specific individual by comparing the individual’s known traits with those predicted from the genome. This type of tracing attack is widely discussed in the genomic privacy literature, yet previous studies have been criticized for overstating its practical risks. Over the past decade, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) wi...
