It’s encouraging to read of another study addressing the lack of diversity in genetics research—this study is in South Carolina. Attention and funding have been desperately needed for such a long time to identify gene mutations in addition to those found primarily in white individuals of European descent. I’m really looking forward to the day when I won’t hear stories from Black women telling me of numerous first and second degree relatives with triple negative breast cancer and no pathogenic mutations being identified!
