GWAS raise important ethical issues. The collection and use of genetic data must be handled with care to protect individuals' privacy and prevent misuse. There is a risk of genetic discrimination if such information is not adequately safeguarded. Informed consent is crucial, and participants must fully understand how their data will be used. Additionally, the interpretation of GWAS results can be complex, and misinterpretation could lead to stigmatization or anxiety among individuals who learn of their genetic predispositions.
