Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic ancestry, inferred from genomic data, is a quantifiable biological parameter. While much of the human genome is identical across populations, it is estimated that as much as 0.4% of the genome can differ due to ancestry. This variation is primarily characterized by single nucleotide variants (SNVs), which are often unique to specific genetic populations. Knowledge of a patient's genetic...
