Based on data collected by the UK10K project, the study was designed to explore the contribution of rare genetic variants to human disease and its impact on risk factors. Rare genetic variants are changes in DNA that are carried only by relatively few people in a population. Tue, 15 Sep 2015 19:25:36 +0000 cynthia.lee@mcgill.ca 24470 at /newsroom
