Article Synopsis
- * We looked at 46 articles about ELSI in cancer control and found 18 important themes, like making sure everyone has access to testing and care, and the rights of families to know genetic information.
- * There are still gaps in understanding how to provide fair care for people living in rural areas and different cultural backgrounds, so we need more teamwork to address these issues in cancer genomics.
Article Synopsis
- Achieving a proper diagnosis for Indigenous individuals with rare genetic diseases is essential for fair healthcare access.
- The International Rare Disease Research Consortium has created a global Task Force aimed at addressing the challenges in diagnosing these rare diseases among Indigenous populations.
- The initiative focuses on finding solutions to improve health equity for Indigenous communities dealing with these illnesses.
The Indigenous peoples of Australia have a rich linguistic and cultural history. How this relates to genetic diversity remains largely unknown because of their limited engagement with genomic studies. Here we analyse the genomes of 159 individuals from four remote Indigenous communities, including people who speak a language (Tiwi) not from the most widespread family (Pama-Nyungan).

However, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ancestries are historically under-represented in genomics research and almost completely missing from reference datasets. Addressing this representation gap is critical, both to advance our understanding of global human genomic diversity and as a prerequisite for ensuring equitable outcomes in genomic medicine.
