Hi Angee, this is an important consideration, and one that we will try to address as we continue testing the relevance of this biomarker in clinical populations. Obviously, our testing will begin in an urban area (NYC), but it would need to be tested with patient samples from those in rural communities as well. Thanks for your question!
This is exciting.
