Map the Gap

Improving the Health of South Asians Across the Globe

Many people are looking at their parents, grandparents and families and seeing cancer, diabetes, heart disease and rare diseases, all of which can have a genetic component. South Asians have twice the rate of genetic disease compared to the rest of the world, yet there is far less data, less than 1% of the available data. So people don’t know what they are carrying, and they want better diagnosis and treatments for their family members. #MaptheGap will start to address this. - February 02, 2018
