Quantifying the contribution of genetic variation to healthcare expenditure across diverse healthcare systems

2026-07-15

Abstract excerpt

Healthcare systems must balance rising costs with the delivery of effective care, yet the factors underlying large inter-individual differences in healthcare expenditure remain incompletely understood. Here we examine how genome-wide genetic variation contributes to healthcare costs, analysing inpatient, outpatient, primary care and prescription drug expenditure in up to 1,429,889 individuals from 11 studies acros...
