Although the identities of the participants are anonymized in these databases, sensitive information about individuals can still be inferred. One such information is kinship.EnglishA utility maximizing and privacy preserving approach for protecting kinship in genomic databasesArticle10.1093/bioinformatics/btx5681367-4811
