Abstract

The importance of generating and sharing human genomic data for human health is widely recognised. Whilst several international high-level frameworks provide guidance, local governance challenges and concerns of previously under-represented populations mean that the full potential of genomic data sharing remains unrealised. This commentary introduces the LINEAGE study, an Australian research project that is building an empirically-informed and normatively robust governance framework for the generation and sharing of genomic data.
