To inform deliberations around use of the Human Genome Diversity Project (HGDP) and related legacy data, we conducted a literature review of HGDP-derived data use from 2010 to 2024. Our analysis suggests broad re-use, possibly inconsistent with the original consent understandings. We urge caution with use of those data and similar datasets of unclear provenance.
