Comprehensively mapping the genetic basis of human disease across diverse individuals is a long-standing goal for the field of human genetics. The All of Us Research Program is a longitudinal cohort study aiming to enrol a diverse group of at least one million individuals across the USA to accelerate biomedical research and improve human health. Here we describe the programme's genomics data release of 245,388 clinical-grade genome sequences. This resource is unique in its diversity as 77% of participants are from communities that are historically under-represented in biomedical research and 46% are individuals from under-represented racial and ethnic minorities. All of Us identified more than 1 billion genetic variants, including more than 275 million previously unreported genetic variants, more than 3.9 million of which had coding consequences. Leveraging linkage between genomic data and the longitudinal electronic health record, we evaluated 3,724 genetic variants associated with 117 diseases and found high replication rates across both participants of European ancestry and participants of African ancestry. Summary-level data are publicly available, and individual-level data can be accessed by researchers through the All of Us Researcher Workbench using a unique data passport model with a median time from initial researcher registration to data access of 29 hours. We anticipate that this diverse dataset will advance the promise of genomic medicine for all.
全面绘制不同个体的人类疾病遗传基础是人类遗传学领域的长期目标。“全美健康与基因组学研究计划”(All of Us Research Program)是一项纵向队列研究,旨在招募美国各地至少 100 万名不同的个体,以加速生物医学研究并改善人类健康。本文描述了该计划的 245388 例临床级基因组序列的基因组学数据发布。该资源在其多样性方面是独一无二的,因为 77%的参与者来自在生物医学研究中代表性不足的社区,46%的参与者来自代表性不足的少数族裔。“全美”鉴定出了超过 10 亿个遗传变异,包括 2.75 亿多个以前未报告的遗传变异,其中 390 多万个具有编码后果。利用基因组数据与纵向电子健康记录之间的连锁关系,我们评估了与 117 种疾病相关的 3724 个遗传变异,发现无论是在欧洲血统参与者还是非洲血统参与者中,这些变异的复制率都很高。汇总数据是公开的,研究人员可以通过“全美”研究人员工作平台以数据护照模型的形式访问个体数据,从研究人员首次注册到数据访问的中位数时间为 29 小时。我们预计,这个多样化的数据集将推进基因组医学造福所有人的承诺。
