Study Finds Most People Carry High Genetic Risk for Three Common Diseases
A study led by the University of Exeter analyzed nearly one million genomes from UK and US biobanks, revealing that most people globally carry a high genetic risk for three common diseases: diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and schizophrenia. The average human genome contains about five million variants, including 10,000 that affect gene sequences and one to three rare variants linked to serious genetic diseases. Researchers emphasize that genetic variation is normal and whole genome sequencing is increasingly important for disease prediction and diagnosis.
