Protecting the confidentiality of genetic research data is an important aspect of genetic research that has been discussed in various forums. Research data must be protected to prevent discrimination and its use in litigation. The certificate of confidentiality was created to protect the subjects of alcohol- and drug-abuse studies, who may be engaging in illegal activities. As revised in 1988, the certificate protects investigators engaging in other kinds of studies from being compelled to reveal information about subjects. Because the certificate protects information that could damage a subject's financial or social standing or employability, it is an appropriate tool to use to maintain the confidentiality of genetic data. The Department of Health and Human Services issues the certificates; the procedure for applying for a certificate of confidentiality is presented.
保护基因研究数据的保密性是基因研究的一个重要方面，这在各种论坛上都有讨论。研究数据必须得到保护，以防止歧视及其在诉讼中的使用。保密证书的设立是为了保护酒精和药物滥用研究的受试者，他们可能参与了非法活动。1988年修订后的保密证书保护从事其他类型研究的调查人员不被强迫透露有关受试者的信息。由于保密证书保护的信息可能损害受试者的经济、社会地位或就业能力，因此它是维护基因数据保密性的一种合适工具。卫生与公众服务部颁发保密证书；文中介绍了申请保密证书的程序。
