DISEASE-ORIENTED GENOMIC ANONYMIZATION
First Claim

1. A method for anonymization of genetic data from at least one individual, said method comprising the steps of:
- providing genetic data from at least one individual;
choosing a disease to be studied;
determining at least one subset of the genetic data, said subset of genetic data being directly related to the disease to be studied;
assorting the remaining genetic data which are not directly related to the disease to be studied into multiple subsets grouped into more than one layer based on the proximity of these subsets to the genetic data which are directly related to the disease to be studied, wherein the proximity is preferably established based on a genome pathway network that corresponds to the genetic data;
anonymizing the more than one layer containing the subsets of genetic data not directly related to the disease to be studied.

Abstract
A method, a system and a computer program product for anonymization of genetic data from at least one individual wherein the genetic data are grouped into a subset of genetic data being directly related to a disease and one or more subsets of genetic data being distantly related to the disease based upon the genome pathways network, and wherein the subsets of genetic data being distantly related to the disease are anonymized.

13. A computer program product for anonymizing genetic data, the computer program product comprising instructions which when carried out on a computer cause the computer to perform at least one step of a method for anonymizing genetic data of at least one individual, the method comprising the steps of:
-
providing genetic data from at least one individual; choosing a disease to be studied; determining at least one subset of the genetic data, said subset of genetic data being directly related to the disease to be studied; assorting the remaining genetic data which are not directly related to the disease to be studied into multiple subsets grouped into more than one layer based on the proximity of these subsets to the genetic data which are directly related to the disease to be studied, wherein the proximity is preferably established based on a genome pathway network that corresponds to the genetic data; anonymizing the more than one layer containing the subsets of genetic data not directly related to the disease to be studied.

14. A system for anonymizing genetic data, said system comprising:
-
a data interface configured to receive genetic data of at least one individual; a user input interface configured to receive user input commands form a user input device for choosing a disease to be studied; a processor configured for determining subset(s) of genetic data from the genetic data of the at least one individual being directly related to the disease to be studied; assorting the subsets of the genetic data that are not directly related to the disease to be studied into different layers based on the subsets'"'"' distance to the genetic data being directly related to the disease to be studied, wherein the distance is preferably established based on a genome pathway network that corresponds to the genetic data; and anonymizing the layers that are not directly related to the disease to be studied or the genetic data present in the layers that are not directly related to the disease to be studied.
