Abstract

The article focuses on the ethical data which was released by the Genome-wide association (GWA) in developing countries for a disease prevention tool. It mentions that the data that was released by GWA studies may not be fully understood unless it will be examined by several methods together with the combination of other datasets. It also adds that widespread consultation is the requirement for developing an appropriate and effective approach regarding the GWA released data.
