Novel Approaches for Relating Genetic Variation to Function and Disease (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-18-868.html
Genome-wide association studies and other disease studies have found many variants that are statistically associated with disease risk, disease protection, or other traits.

Similarly, clinical genomic sequencing studies have identified many variants in healthy and diseased individuals. However, the pathogenicity of such variants is often unknown, leading to their classification as variants of uncertain significance, which makes clinical implementation difficult.
