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 gjenetikë on health and disease.
Researchers have identified over 275 million new gjenetik variante from data shared by about 250,000 participants of Të gjithë ne Research Programme of National Institute of Health (NIH) of the USA. These variante were previously unreported and unexplored. Of the 275 million newly identified variante, 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 gjenetik background. This addresses a major diversity related limitation of other large genomic studies which had over 90% participants with European gjenetik prejardhja.
Ri gjenomike të dhënat vihen në dispozicion të studiuesve të regjistruar në Tavolina e punës e studiuesve. Shumë studiues po përdorin grupin e të dhënave.
Study of these hitherto unexplored gjenetik variante should contribute to understanding influences of gjenetikë on health and disease especially in under-studied communities with non-European ancestry.
