Where this comes from

Abstract

Significant disparities in the clinical usefulness of genomic information across diverse groups are due to underrepresentation in genetic databases and inequitable access to genetic services. Remedying disparities is immediately needed to ensure that genomic medicine is more equitable but will take a long-term commitment and active engagement of diverse communities.
