[/dʒəˈnoʊmɪk sɪˈkjʊrəti/]
noun
segurança genômica
1. The protection of genetic information and DNA data from unauthorized access, misuse, theft, or breach, encompassing both physical security of biological samples and cybersecurity of genomic databases
Genomic security is critical in hospitals to prevent genetic data leaks that could compromise patient privacy.
A segurança genômica é crítica em hospitais para evitar vazamentos de dados genéticos que poderiam comprometer a privacidade do paciente.
2. The implementation of protocols and safeguards to ensure the integrity, confidentiality, and accessibility of genetic information in research, clinical, and forensic settings
The biobank implemented advanced genomic security measures to protect participants' DNA samples.
O banco de amostras biológicas implementou medidas avançadas de segurança genômica para proteger as amostras de DNA dos participantes.
3. The field of study and practice addressing threats to genetic data, including cyber attacks, unauthorized sequencing, and genetic discrimination
Genomic security professionals work to develop standards for protecting whole genome sequences.
Profissionais de segurança genômica trabalham para desenvolver padrões de proteção de sequências de genoma completo.
Genomic security is an increasingly important concern in both Brazil and the USA as genetic testing becomes more common and biobanks expand. In Brazil, there is growing attention to genomic security through LGPD (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados) compliance. In the USA, HIPAA and state-level genetic privacy laws govern this field. The term reflects modern concerns about data privacy, genetic discrimination, and the ethical handling of sensitive biological information in an age of precision medicine.
