"Uncovering 275 Million Genetic Variants in All of Us Research Program"
The National Institutes of Health's All of Us Research Program has identified over 275 million new genetic variants from nearly 250,000 participants, half of whom are of non-European genetic ancestry. This unprecedented discovery provides new insights into genetic influences on health and disease, particularly in underrepresented communities. The findings, detailed in Nature, offer potential for advancing precision medicine for all populations and addressing health disparities. The program aims to engage at least one million diverse participants to contribute data for future scientific discoveries.
