Abstract

Through sequencing the DNA of about 70,000 people affected by rare disease or cancer, the project will provide advanced diagnostics for NHS patients, undertake research, and establish the infrastructure for a genomic medicine service in the NHS.

The UK will be the first country in the world to bring whole genome sequencing into routine healthcare, potentially making personalised medicine a reality for all.
