古吉拉特邦启动了印度第一个部落基因组项目, 以负担得起的快速检测方法对抗遗传疾病。 Gujarat launches India’s first tribal genome project to fight genetic diseases with affordable, rapid testing.

古吉拉特邦发起了印度第一个针对部落社区的大规模基因组测序项目,以防治地中海贫血症和镰状细胞贫血等遗传性疾病。 Gujarat has launched India’s first large-scale genome sequencing project targeting its tribal communities to combat genetic disorders like thalassemia and sickle cell anemia. 该倡议由古吉拉特生物技术研究中心牵头,收集11个县31个部落群的DNA,以建立参考基因组数据库。 Led by the Gujarat Biotechnology Research Centre, the initiative collects DNA from 31 tribal groups across 11 districts to build a reference genome database. 其目的是使早期诊断和负担得起的社区专门测试成为可能,每次测试的费用降低到1 000-1 500英镑。 It aims to enable early diagnosis and affordable, community-specific testing, with costs reduced to ₹1,000–1,500 per test. 使用先进的测序平台,国家可以在48-72小时内处理每个运行的25-50个基因组。 Using advanced sequencing platforms, the state can process 25–50 genomes per run in 48–72 hours. 该项目支持精密医学,确定当地基因突变,并为营养不良、贫血和药物应对战略提供参考。 The project supports precision medicine, identifies local genetic mutations, and informs strategies for malnutrition, anemia, and drug response. 通过了2025年26年的计划,与印度国家基因组项目一致,并与古吉拉特的"部落骄傲年"相吻合,以纪念布尔萨·蒙达的150周年. Approved for 2025–26, it aligns with the national Genome India Project and coincides with Gujarat’s ‘Tribal Pride Year’ to honor Bhagwan Birsa Munda’s 150th birth anniversary.
