Diversity matters: opportunities in the study of the genetics of psychotic disorders in low- and middle-income countries in Latin America

Abstract excerpt

Lack of diversity regarding genetic and environmental backgrounds weakens the generalization and clinical applicability of research findings on psychotic disorders. Notably, Latin Americans have been generally neglected in genetic studies, comprising less than 2% of genome-wide association study samples. But Latin American populations represent a unique opportunity for research, given the exceptionally high...
