CLL is one of the malignancies that's actually a little more common in men, and in white men relative to women or minorities. So, this is not a cancer that is particularly, you know, at higher rates in certain minorities that we need to watch out for. In terms of, you know, specific healthcare disparities, the one that I've tried to target is, being in Charlotte, North Carolina, a healthy percentage of my patients are African American, and we see across a lot of clinical trials and in oncology that African Americans and other minorities are underrepresented. And I've, in particular, been trying to improve our enrollment of our minority patient population into our clinical trials to make sure that these trials that we're doing are representative of the US population in terms of having minority representation there.
