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 遺伝学 on health and disease.
Researchers have identified over 275 million new 遺伝子の バリアント from data shared by about 250,000 participants of 私たちのすべて Research Programme of National Institute of Health (NIH) of the USA. These バリアント were previously unreported and unexplored. Of the 275 million newly identified バリアント, 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 遺伝子の background. This addresses a major diversity related limitation of other large genomic studies which had over 90% participants with European 遺伝子の 祖先。

Study of these hitherto unexplored 遺伝子の バリアント should contribute to understanding influences of 遺伝学 on health and disease especially in under-studied communities with non-European ancestry.
