    • Practitioners must comply with data privacy laws, such as GDPR in Europe, HIPAA in the U.S., or the Australian Privacy Principles, which require secure handling, storage, and sharing of genetic information.
    • Genetic data is considered sensitive information, so extra care must be taken to ensure it is not disclosed without explicit patient consent.
