Secure discovery of genetic relatives across large-scale and distributed genomic data sets.

Finding relatives within a study cohort is a necessary step in many genomic studies. However, when the cohort is distributed across multiple entities subject to data-sharing restrictions, performing this step often becomes infeasible. Developing a privacy-preserving solution for this task is challenging owing to the burden of estimating kinship between all the pairs of individuals across data sets.
