Launched in 2003, the Scandinavian Y-DNA Project brings together people from Greater Scandinavia to explore the population history of North Western Europe using Y-DNA. Historically, predicting risk for cancer susceptibility is most accurate among people of European descent because the earliest genetic databases used to determine risk were built with data from those countries — Iceland, for example, created one of the earliest and largest genetic databases in the world by generating data from its population. , 2000 ).

But … Iceland has ranked last for infant mortality > female babies since 1985. One reason the company is so successful is because of the homogeneous research pool in Iceland from which they take most of their samples. The database includes only single gene alterations (it does not include contiguous gene syndromes, although some conditions with, for example, digenic inheritance are included), and does not include genetic associations or susceptibility factors related to more complex diseases, such as identified through association-based studies.

An Icelandic biotechnology company, deCode Genetics, wanted to include Icelanders' medical records, family trees (which are meticulously documented in Iceland; some can be traced as far back as over a thousand years ago), and genetic information into a single database. In that case, the daughter of a deceased man whose genetic, ancestral and health information were scheduled to be included in a national database successfully argued that including her father's information infringed her own privacy, since information about her could be inferred from "his" genetic information. Let’s see how Iceland, a state with a homogenous population makes use of genomic data, and how private and public clashes over its regulatory issues. So, hypothetically, it is possible.
