Recent advances of genetic ancestry testing in biomedical research and direct to consumer testing.

Clinical genetics - 1 Sept 2009

Via M, Ziv E, Burchard E G

Abstract excerpt

In the post-Human Genome Project era, the debate on the concept of race/ethnicity and its implications for biomedical research are dependent on two critical issues: whether and how to classify individuals and whether biological factors play a role in health disparities. The advent of reliable estimates of genetic (or biogeographic) ancestry has provided this debate with a quantitative and more objective tool. The...
