What GA4GH Framework for Responsible Sharing of Genomic and Health-Related Data (Version 2) requires
The Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH) is an international, non-profit standards body that produces technical and policy standards for the responsible sharing of genomic and health-related data. The GA4GH Framework for Responsible Sharing of Genomic and Health-Related Data (the Framework) was first published in 2014 and revised as Version 2 in 2019 and is the foundational policy document for GA4GH standards work. The Framework establishes five core foundational principles (respect individuals, families and communities; advance research and scientific knowledge; promote health, wellbeing and the fair distribution of benefits; foster trust, integrity and reciprocity; recognise and address ethical, legal and social issues) and operational principles for transparency, accountability, engagement, risk-benefit analysis, quality and security, and privacy. GA4GH technical standards used worldwide include the Variant Call Format (VCF), the GA4GH Data Use Ontology (DUO), the Beacon API for federated discovery, the Data Repository Service (DRS), the Workflow Execution Service (WES), the Tool Registry Service (TRS), the htsget protocol for streaming genomic data, the Phenopackets v2 standard, and the Refget standard for reference sequences. GA4GH operates a working-group based standards process across eight Work Streams: Clinical and Phenotypic Data Capture; Cloud; Data Security; Data Use and Researcher Identities; Discovery; Genomic Knowledge Standards; Large Scale Genomics; and Regulatory and Ethics. GA4GH standards are increasingly referenced in national biobanking and genomic data frameworks including the NIH Genomic Data Sharing Policy, the EU Health Data Space, the UK Genome UK Strategy, and Japan AMED BioBank Japan.
