Discovering More Genetic Variants Thanks to All of Us Data

Data shared by All of Us participants helped researchers find 118 genetic variants in the G6PD gene that were previously unknown.
Researchers looked at All of Us survey data from cancer survivors. They found that lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) survivors had lower quality of life than heterosexual survivors. Learning about these differences, called health disparities, may help health care providers tailor care to the needs of LGB people.
