Genetic influences on health: does race matter?

JAMA - 24 Aug 2005

Bamshad Mike

Abstract excerpt

Race is frequently used by clinicians and biomedical researchers to make inferences about an individual's ancestry and to predict whether an individual carries specific genetic risk factors that influence health. The extent to which race is useful for making such predictions depends on how well race corresponds with genetic inferences of ancestry, how frequently common diseases in different racial groups are...
