Recent studies have already shown how genetic diversity can impact disease risk
A study that analyzed the genetic code of a quarter of a million U.S. volunteers found more than 275 million entirely new variants that may help explain why some groups are more prone to disease than others, researchers reported on Monday. The whole genome sequencing data from a wide range of Americans aims to address the historical lack of diversity in existing genomic datasets by focusing on previously under-represented groups. The U.S. National Institutes of Health-funded "All of Us" study turned up 1 billion genetic variants in total.

Experts say analysing the entire genetic code of cancer patients can help deliver treatments that work better. in the biggest study of its kind, involving 13,000 cancer patients in england, combining clinical data and dna evidence meant care could be tailored. you're live with bbc news. here in the uk, the bbc has found almost all key nhs targets have been missed for seven years or more. the analysis of the public healthcare system focused on three key hospital targets — a&e, cancer care, and waiting times for planned procedures. it found that neither northern ireland nor wales have ever met...
