"Uncovering Millions of Genetic Variants: The All of Us Research Program's Impact on Disease Risk"
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.
