First Report by the Forensic Databases Advisory Board (FDAB) – Revised version, September 2023
This first report of the Forensic Databases Advisory Board (FDAB) aims to provide the International Society for Forensic Genetics (ISFG) with a framework to assess the ethical implications of hosting data from a variety of population groups on the forensic genetic frequency databases (FGFD) known as Y-chromosome Haplotype Reference Database (YHRD), the EDNAP Mitochondrial DNA Population Database (EMPOP) and the STRs for Identity ENFSI Reference Database (STRidER).
Ethical considerations in this report include questions of data acquisition, data sensitivity and identifiability and ethical principles to be implemented.
