Population description and its role in the interpretation of genetic association.

Human genetics - 1 Mar 2010

Fullerton Stephanie M, Yu Joon-Ho, Crouch Julia, Fryer-Edwards Kelly, Burke Wylie

Abstract excerpt

Despite calls for greater clarity and precision of population description, studies have documented persistent ambiguity in the use of race/ethnicity terms in genetic research. It is unclear why investigators tolerate such ambiguity, or what effect these practices have on the evaluation of reported associations. To explore the way that population description is used to replicate and/or extend previously reported...
