Race, ancestry, and genes: implications for defining disease risk.

Annual review of genomics and human genetics - 1 Jan 2003

Kittles Rick A, Weiss Kenneth M

Abstract excerpt

Geneticists are interested in finding genes associated with disease. Because of widespread health disparities, race is a variable that is often said to be relevant in this context. The idea is that members of a preconceived "race" share common ancestry that may include genetic risk factors. Human...
