Abstract

Our genome-wide association study (GWAS) on same-sex sexual behavior, which used data from the UK Biobank, was reviewed and approved by the UK Biobank Access Sub-Committee. We also sought stakeholder input from allies and advocates for the LGBTQIA+ community, as has been done in the past. Despite these efforts, Holm and Ploug contend that broad biobank consent is insufficient. They argue that our study only tenuously qualifies as “health-related” and thus stretches the bounds of the participants’ consent.
