Precision health equity for racialized communities.

In the last three decades, a cohort of genomicists have intentionally sought to include more racially diverse people in their research in human genomics and precision medicine. Specifically, we examine issues of genetic data governance and the terms of participation in inclusive human genomics and precision health research.

⚡ This is an original paraphrased summary — not copied from the abstract. Full paper available at the source link below.

• 1 How such efforts to be inclusive in human genomic research and precision medicine are modeled and enacted, specifically if the terms of inclusion are equitable for these communities remains to be explored.
• 2 In this commentary, we review the historical context in which issues of racial inclusion arose with early genome and genetics projects.
• 3 We then discuss attempts to include racialized peoples in more recent human genomics research.

Understanding this could lead to better treatments, improved diagnostics, or a deeper grasp of how the human body works — benefiting patient care globally.
