By Pashtana Usufzy, Las Vegas Review-Journal
Free genetic testing is being offered to 5,000 Northern Nevadans as part of a public-private collaboration intended to assess how factors like genetics and environment affect overall population health.
Health care network Renown Health, California-based personal genetics company 23andMe and the Desert Research Institute (DRI) — an environmental research hub that’s part of the Nevada System of Higher Education — will partner on the pilot study, according to a DRI news release.
