The Healthy Nevada Project started in 2016 to study the genetic material of thousands of volunteers in Northern Nevada.Former Governor Brian Sandoval was the first participant, but since then more than 50,000 people around the state have signed up.Researchers just published a report based on all those samples. They were looking for ways to predict if a patient was at a higher risk of hereditary conditions that can lead to strokes, heart disease and certain kinds of cancer.
