Researchers have discovered 275 million new genetic variants from data shared by 250,000 participants of All of us Research Programme of NIH. This vast unexplored data will help better understand influence of 유전학 on health and disease.
Researchers have identified over 275 million new 유전 변종 from data shared by about 250,000 participants of 우리 모두 Research Programme of National Institute of Health (NIH) of the USA. These 변종 were previously unreported and unexplored. Of the 275 million newly identified 변종, nearly 4 million are in areas that may be associated with the disease risks.
Interestingly, nearly half of the genomic data are from participants with non-European 유전 background. This addresses a major diversity related limitation of other large genomic studies which had over 90% participants with European 유전 가계.

Study of these hitherto unexplored 유전 변종 should contribute to understanding influences of 유전학 on health and disease especially in under-studied communities with non-European ancestry.
