- The Taiwan Biobank (TWB) is developing a comprehensive research database that includes genomic, lifestyle, and health data from 300,000 residents of Taiwan.
- An analysis of 10,801 Taiwanese Han Chinese participants revealed three distinct genetic clusters based on ancestry: 5% northern, 79.9% southern, and 14.5% a unique T group with independent evolutionary traits.
- This study also found different genetic risk factors for type II diabetes among the various Han Chinese ancestry groups and made the genetic data publicly available to promote further research.
