Self-reported race/ethnicity in the age of genomic research: its potential impact on understanding health disparities.

Human genomics - 7 Jan 2015

Mersha Tesfaye B, Abebe Tilahun

Abstract excerpt

This review explores the limitations of self-reported race, ethnicity, and genetic ancestry in biomedical research. Various terminologies are used to classify human differences in genomic research including race, ethnicity, and ancestry. Although race and ethnicity are related, race refers to a person's physical appearance, such as skin color and eye color. Ethnicity, on the other hand, refers to communality in...
