The UAE has launched its National Genome Strategy, which aims to provide a comprehensive legislative and governance framework to support the development and implementation of genomic programs.
The strategy will last ten years and will focus on delivering public health priorities while improving the country's well-being.
The Emirates Genome Council, which was established in 2021, will oversee the National Genome Strategy.
The Emirati Genome Program is considered one of the most comprehensive genomic initiatives in the world and will advance the nation's preventive and personalized healthcare agenda as it collaborates with research and medical institutions across the UAE.
The program aims to collect one million samples nationwide and currently contains whole genome sequencing data from around 400,000 citizens.
Genome sequencing can help in the diagnosis of conditions caused by changes in the DNA.
It will also support doctors in taking proactive steps to reduce the prevalence of certain diseases, enable early intervention and help to identify the most effective treatments.
