TL;DR Summary

The All of Us programme, aiming to improve healthcare by focusing on underrepresented groups, has uncovered over 275 million new genetic markers, with nearly 150 potentially linked to type 2 diabetes. This initiative, which has enrolled 413,000 participants, aims to bridge the gap in genetics research on non-white populations and provide a diverse genomic dataset for researchers. The findings emphasize the urgent need to study non-European genomes in more detail and update existing algorithms to improve the accuracy of personalized health care for minority populations.
