Race, genetics and medicine: does the color of a leopard's spots matter?

Current opinion in pediatrics - 1 Dec 2007

Bamshad Michael, Guthery Stephen L

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Accurate inference of genetic ancestry is critical because common diseases and drug responses can be influenced by genetic factors that vary in frequency or differ altogether among populations. Frequently, clinicians and researchers use popular notions of race to make inferences about a child's genetic ancestry and predict whether he or she carries specific risk factors that influence health....
