What are the Limitations and Ethical Considerations?
While the integration of genetic material into epidemiological studies offers numerous benefits, it also presents several challenges and ethical considerations. These include:
Data privacy: Ensuring the confidentiality and security of genetic information. Informed consent: Properly informing participants about the purpose and potential risks of genetic research. Genetic discrimination: Protecting individuals from discrimination based on their genetic information. Complexity of genetic data: Interpreting and managing the vast amount of data generated from genomic studies.
