Towards diversity in genomics: The emergence of neurogenomics in Africa?

Genomics - 1 Jan 2018

Quansah Emmanuel, McGregor Nathaniel W

Abstract excerpt

There is a high burden of mental and neurological disorders in Africa. Nevertheless, there appears to be an under-representation of African ancestry populations in large-scale genomic studies. Here, we evaluated the extent of under-representation of Africans in neurogenomic studies in the GWAS Catalog. We found 569 neurogenomic studies, of which 88.9% were exclusively focused on people with European ancestry and...
