Summary
Next year, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) plans to start recruiting at least 1 million people for what could become the largest study in the world of how genes influence disease risk and drug response. Plans for the study came to the point last week with the release of a model from a panel of human geneticists, medical researchers, and other experts. He urged the NIH recruiting participants not only through academic medical centers and health care organizations, but also by issuing an open invitation to anyone living in the United States. For the director Francis Collins NIH, the project, known as (PMI) Cohort Program Precision Medicine Initiative, brings to fruition an idea he first proposed it 11 years ago. But if NIH can effectively design and manage such a massive effort remains an open question.
