We highlight the current lack of representation of the Middle East from large genomic studies and emphasize the expected high impact of cataloging its variation. We discuss the limiting factors and possible solutions to generating and accessing research and clinical sequencing data from this part of the world.
我们强调目前大型基因组研究中缺乏中东地区的代表性,并强调对其变异进行编目的预期重大影响。我们讨论了产生和获取来自世界这一地区的研究和临床测序数据的限制因素和可能的解决方案。
