Earlier this year we launched a study of sarcoidosis to better understand factors that contribute to this rare inflammatory disease in individuals with African ancestry and we are already gaining insights. As people have consented to participate in our study, we have learned more about their earliest symptoms, the types of symptoms and the treatments they’re using. While there is much that we do not yet understand about sarcoidosis, we’re excited by our early findings and hope to learn even more about this condition that disproportionately impacts the Black community and women. Check out our blog to learn more about this important work.

Check out new 23andMe research on PTSD from former 23andMe intern Henri Garrison-Desany. The unpublished study is among the largest ever done on PTSD.
