Ambry Genetics, a prominent DNA-testing firm located in Orange County, CA, unveiled a new databank on Tuesday containing the aggregated genetic information of 10,000 patients with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer.
The free initiative named AmbryShare is open to the public, but the information is anonymized, according to Ambry’s announcement.
It was engineered to help support President Obama’s Precision Medicine program, which was launched last year to help find cures for diseases based on an individual’s genetic signatures. A database filled with refined genetic data from large patient populations for research purposes is a key component of that.
