GenePod: May 2016 - Diversity Matters – A global atlas of human malformation

Humans all over the world are born with malformations regardless of their particular ethnicity or ancestry, but the medical literature and the resources currently available depicting human malformation have been heavily slanted towards patients with western European ancestry. Maximilian Muenke and colleagues have now begun to remedy this deficiency in the medical literature with a global atlas of human malformation. Listen to GenePod, Genetics in Medicine's podcast, for the story behind this important new reference. www.nature.com/gim/index.html
