NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – The National Institutes of Health's All of Us Research Program plans to initially return disease-associated variants in dozens of genes and pharmacogenomic results to participants, according to project organizers. In addition, study subjects will have the option to obtain their primary data files. The plan is to genotype participants first and to conduct whole-genome sequencing on all of them over the course of the program.
