People with disabilities are under-represented in general (non-disability-specific) precision medicine research (PMR), limiting access to its benefits. We examine key reasons for this, focusing on the role of (dis)trust, and identify areas for further inquiry to guide researchers and enhance PMR’s trustworthiness for people with disabilities.
The rich ethnolinguistic and sociocultural differences that exist in India offers a unique opportunity to study human diversity. With the whole genomes of 10,000 healthy and unrelated Indians from 83 populations, the GenomeIndia project captures the genetic diversity of one of the highly underrepresented populations in the global genomics landscape.
In this era of rapidly expanding human genomics in research and healthcare, efficient data reuse is essential to maximize benefits for society. In response, the Federated European Genome–Phenome Archive (FEGA) was launched in 2022, and as of 2024, the FEGA network was composed of seven national nodes. Here we describe the complexities, challenges and achievements of FEGA, unravelling the dynamic interplay of regulatory frameworks, technical challenges and the shared vision of advancing genomic research.
