The Human Variome Project

The Human Variome Project is an international effort to collect, study, and share information about human genetic variations—differences in our DNA. These variations can influence how individuals develop traits, respond to medications, or are susceptible to certain diseases. By creating a comprehensive database, the project aims to improve diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of genetic conditions. It promotes collaboration among scientists and healthcare professionals globally, ensuring that genetic data is used responsibly and ethically to advance personalized medicine and better understanding of human health.
