heading: 'Genomic medicine for understudied populations: lessons from Colombia',
body: `<div class="elementor-widget-container">
<div class="elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix"><p>Genomic medicine promises to revolutionize healthcare. However, genomics research remains heavily biased towards European-ancestry cohorts, while understudied populations bear a disproportionate disease burden. This genomics research gap has the potential to exacerbate existing health disparities. Closing the gap will require: (i) more genomics research on diverse populations, (ii) better methods so that insights from current studies can be applied across populations, and (iii) development of local capacity so that genomic approaches to healthcare can be implemented worldwide. Our group is working on these three areas together with collaborators from the country of Colombia in South America. Our research and development efforts are focused on neighboring populations in Colombia with distinct ancestry profiles: Antioquia (European) and Chocó (African). We are investigating the role that genetic ancestry plays in the epidemiology of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and patient drug response (pharmacogenomics) in these two populations. Chocó has significantly higher predicted genetic risk for T2D compared to Antioquia, and the elevated genetic risk for T2D in Chocó is correlated with higher African ancestry. Despite its higher genetic risk, the population of Chocó has a three-times lower observed T2D prevalence than Antioquia, indicating that environmental factors better explain differences in T2D outcomes for Colombia. Our exploration of dietary and lifestyle factors in Chocó illustrates how low socioeconomic status can divergently manifest as a T2D protective factor in developing countries. A number of pharmacologically relevant genetic variants show anomalous allele frequencies within and between the two Colombian populations, and these differences are also associated with their distinct genetic ancestry profiles. For example, one particular variant in the SLCO1B1 gene (rs4149056), which is associated with an increased risk of toxicity to a commonly prescribed statin, is found at relatively high frequency in Antioquia and associated with European ancestry. We have developed and validated an inexpensive allele-specific PCR assay to test for the presence of such population-enriched pharmacogenomic variants in resource-limited settings like Colombia. We hope that our population-centered approach can serve as a model for the application of genomic methods to healthcare in understudied populations worldwide.</p></div>
