- In an analysis of 18,000 Finnish samples drawn from the National FINRISK Study, researchers have captured the evolving fine-scale genetic population structure in Finland during the 20th century. The genetic changes in different regions of the country reflect historical events. The results also provide more precise reference groups within the country to improve genetic risk estimation in medical applications, such as polygenic risk scores. “We expect that our results will help personalize future genomic medicine in the Finnish population and promote the participation of the general public in large-scale biobank collections that provide unprecedented opportunities for human genetic research, in Finland as well as elsewhere in the world,” the authors wrote. The results are available to the general public in an interactive website. (News release)
