California-Based Precision Medicine Research Project Shows Early Signs of Success
A precision medicine research project that is using electronic health records and genetic data from more than 100,000 Californians is showing early signs of success, according to research published in the journal GENETICS. The initial results show that the project is helping to pinpoint genetic variants linked to allergies, diabetes, high cholesterol, glaucoma, macular degeneration and prostate cancer.
